Review:
The Nature Discovery Trail and Rock Garden is located in a beautiful municipal park in Bootleg Canyon and offers a fantastic place to spend the day with the family. The paved walking trail features colorful rock gardens and giant statues of desert animals, including a giant jackrabbit, a scorpion, a horned lizard, a roadrunner, a tortoise, a Mojave rattlesnake, and a Gila monster. The winding trail also features information plaques along the route about the local fauna and flora, like the cholla, the prickly pear, and the Joshua tree, as well as spectacular panoramic views of the city. The trail is 1,800 feet long and ends in a pretty covered pavilion with a picnic table for fun days with the family.
