Indian Cove

Indian Cove Nature Trail

The Indian Cove area in Joshua Tree National Park was originally used by the Serrano and Chemehuevi Native American tribes for thousands of years and still contains many important cultural sites and artifacts. The area was also used by cowboys and homesteaders in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and there are still remnants of old cabins and corrals in the area. Today, Indian Cove is a popular camping and hiking destination. We made a quick stop during our visit to walk the 1.2-mile loop Indian Cove Nature Trail, which is known for its unusual rock formations. It did not disappoint!
