sperkins+FollowJoshua Tree closes top trails—here’s whyJoshua Tree National Park just closed two of its most loved trails right in the middle of peak hiking season. The Fortynine Palms trail is now only open on weekends, and the Cholla Cactus Garden trail is completely off-limits until late spring. Park staff say rain damage and the need to protect wildlife are behind the closures, plus they’re working on making the trails safer and more accessible. For anyone planning a visit, this means a big change to the usual experience. How do you feel about these closures—are they worth it for preservation, or a major letdown for hikers? #Travel #JoshuaTree #TrailClosures00Share
