The Lost Palms of AZ

We went on a hike of about a mile to see the Lost Palms. They are a grove of Sand Palms that are in the mountains close to Quartzsite AZ. They are native Palms, they have not been planted, there are a lot of Palms in AZ, but these are special in the fact man did not plant them and as you can see they are in a crack in the mountains. The first picture shows the mountains where they are found, the second show the hikers minus one; they are Wilma, Laddie, & Lake all Davis's. The last one shows the Sand Palms themselves, you can find other small bunches of Palms & also a few singles.
In order to see the grove of Palms or get pictures you have to be in place around noon (11:.00 am -2:00pm.
