A relaxed road trip through Joshua Tree National Park with stops along Pinto Basin Road, a short hike to Skull Rock, and sightings of iconic desert landscapes including blooming Mojave Yuccas and towering boulders.

Tucked within Utah’s red rock wilderness, the Wire Pass Trail offers a stunning journey through one of the region’s most accessible slot canyons. After a 15–20 minute drive on rugged dirt roads, hikers follow a dry creek bed to reach the entrance. From there, towering sandstone walls, a crude wooden ladder, and echoing canyon acoustics create an unforgettable hike.
