Explore the Cholla Cactus Garden Nature Trail in Joshua Tree National Park's Pinto Basin. The flat loop leads hikers through nearly 10 acres (4 hectares) of landscape dominated by the teddybear cholla cactus - a very ironic name for something so dangerous to touch. Interestingly, the seeds from this plant are usually infertile, with new plants start from fallen stem-joints. It is possible that the entire “garden” consists of only one individual teddybear cholla.
