The trail meanders around the loop to the cactus garden, which boasts five different native California desert cactus species, including the barrel, fishhook, prickly pear, and cholla cacti, set among the rocks and other native plants, such as ocotillo, brittlebush, and creosote. In the spring, many of the cacti have colorful blooms, and various species of wildflowers are blooming.
