Highlights: Hellhole Canyon is a more challenging hike that rewards the adventurous with a trek through a canyon oasis. The trail follows a dry wash through desert terrain, leading to a hidden grove of native palm trees and, depending on the season, a small waterfall. The route features rugged desert scenery, including large boulders, cholla cacti, and stunning rock formations. Hikers should be prepared for uneven terrain and bring plenty of water.
