While Joshua Tree National Park's Boy Scout Trail is a little on the long side for a moderate hike, the overall flatness of the trail tones down the difficulty level quite a bit. Expect around 8 miles of classic Joshua Tree landscapes that should take you about six hours to complete. Just make sure to have a ride ready for you on the other side as this trail does not loop. Otherwise, you can always turn back at around the 4-mile point. The first two miles are also exceptionally flat and excellent for a quick hike with kids or for trail runners.

City advice
What to pack
Bring hats and sunscreen
The desert is hot - that's a given. Yet many travelers forget to bring hats and sunscreen to protect from the sun. Always have water with you, and always wear closed shoes when hiking, as the grounds can shift.
