There are many, many cactus plants on this 1/4 mile loop through the desert. It is a nice, wide path. Handicapped accessible. I recommend stopping while in Joshua Tree National Park.

The 1/4 mile loop is a nice walk to view the cactus. It's a sandy trail, probably not suitable for wheelchairs, but doable with a cane. The trail has not been as wee maintained as one might wish...

Definitely worth visiting to see the glowing cholla cactii stretching out for miles around you. It's suggested to visit this garden at sunrise, but the view was just as good at midday when we visited. Be very careful to not get too close - the cactus spines will attach themselves to your clothes at the slightest contact, and will not want to let go - I speak from experience.
