The Eagle Mountains Zone features rugged mountains, rocky canyons, and palm oases. It is among the warmer and lower elevation zones in the park. This region also includes the Southern Coxcombs, an extremely rugged and remote region that can be accessed from CA-177. Due to sensitive resources, camping is not allowed at Lost Palms Oasis, Victory Palms, and most of Munsen Canyon.
