Hidden Valley & beyond

Here the paved road forks: to the left are various interesting parts of the overall Park, such as five desert palm oases, an abandoned dam and mine, a recently restored ranch, and access to the enormous eastern wilderness portion. To the right is the road to the Key View, the superb lookout above the Coachella Valley and the San Andreas Fault. Near the forks there are a campground, a small picnic-rest area, several piles of boulders, and some enormous rocks.
