Skeletal remains have been discovered at Joshua Tree National Park in California by some hikers.

Park staff say the remains were found in the rugged Stubbe Springs Loop area of Joshua Tree on Thursday, May 3. The 13-mile trail is described as difficult in places to follow as it meanders across the Mojave Desert in the park.

Park rangers accompanied by Riverside County Sheriff’s Department investigators collected the remains and other evidence from the scene for testing and analysis by forensic specialists.

At this time the identity of the subject is unknown.
