Joshua Tree National Park is closing the popular trail that leads to Fortynine Palms so bighorn sheep can access a scarce oasis amid drought and hotter temperatures.
Joshua Tree National Park rangers have closed the popular hiking trail that leads to the Fortynine Palms so bighorn sheep can get to one of the park’s few oases undisturbed.
Starting today, June 1, the 49 Palms Trail will be closed to allow bighorn sheep undisturbed access to the oasis water. Under current drought conditions, herds must rely on this water to survive. The closure will remain until summer monsoons increase water availability.
