Barker Dam was built by the Barker & Shay Cattle Company in the early 1900s and later enlarged. The dam was bone dry during our hike in March 2021 on the Echo T Trail to Barker Dam Loop in Joshua Tree National Park, near Twentynine Palms, California, USA. The park straddles the cactus-dotted Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert, which is higher and cooler.
