Knob Hill Ranch

Reviewed By sarahdE8052HO - Arlington, United States

We visited Knob Hill Ranch for the day and did the Panorama View Trail through Joshua Tree National Park. It was one of the longer trail rides so not recommended for beginners, but it was great for riders who have been on a horse at least a few times before and want to see the park from a different angle. The trail ride took us on about a 3.8 mile loop trail and to the top of one of the mountains in the park so we had amazing panoramic views of the park (hence the trail name) at a higher altitude, without having to hike. We went in late October so the weather was cooler and jackets were necessary. The owner, Natalia, is an experienced rider and trainer and did a great job of explaining everything as we were getting introduced to our horses. She and her team even did a short demonstration of riding commands and how to control the horse for the newer riders. She is very knowledgeable and a great teach. I really enjoyed all of the tips and guidance she gave along the way and I feel like a learned something while enjoying the ride. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to get a different view of the national park and is comfortable with horses. I felt so welcomed and had a wonderful time, that I can't wait to go back!

Hi-View Nature Trail

Reviewed By DeniseB63 - Lake Forest, United States

The trail head for this hike is in the southeast corner of Black Rock Campground. Since it was warm, I chose to do this hike in the early evening. Parking is available along with a map/description of the hike. There are numbered markers along the path but I did not have descriptions for those markers. What starts out as a level trail in amongst desert plants, flowers and Joshua trees eventually gives way to steps and a 400 foot climb to the peak of a hill that gives way to amazing views of the valley. Sign the "I made it here" book and sit for a while before embarking on the sometimes steep and many steps leading down. My hiking pole and a shoulder to grab onto here and there helped with my balance issues. The official Joshua Tree National Park Guide that you are given upon entry to the park rates this trail as "easy". Personally, I would rate it "moderate" because of the elevation gain and steep steps. Enjoy!
