    • This is one of the most scenic trails in the area.
    The trail starts at a small parking at Una Palma where there is indeed one palm.
    The trail goes cross country following canyons washes and over small mud/rocky hills in the badlands.
    There is shade at the 5 and 17 Palm oasis.
    The trail is not that difficult considering that we travel cross country.
    We first go to 5 palms oasis look for a single palm a couple of yards past the oasis (makes it at least 5).
    Next stop is 17 Palms Oasis (there are some more now). Hiking time 1.5 Hours, round trip.
