49 PALMS CANYON CLOSED TO ALLOW BIGHORN SHEEP ACCESS TO WATER

Joshua Tree National Park has closed the popular 49 Palms Trail in 29 Palms to allow bighorn sheep undisturbed access to surface water.  The park is under extreme drought conditions and herds in the area are increasingly reliant on the oasis spring to survive the hot summer months. The closure will remain in place until summer monsoons provide adequate rainfall to increase water availability. Park wildlife biologists will be monitoring the situation.
