Hike to
Pinyon Well, Joshua Tree National Park
View Original Description
Pinyon Well is located 0.7 miles up a canyon off Geology Tour Road in Joshua Tree National Park. Pinyon Well was a small, active community in the late 1890s and up through the 1910s. It was there because of a reliable source of water from three wells in the area, and the steam-powered, two-stamp mill that crushed ore for the nearby mines. A round-trip hike from the trailhead to Pinyon Well is a little under two miles, mostly is a sandy wash.
