Review:
Where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet, you will find the fascinating Joshua Tree National Park, home to a surreal geological landscape that provides a surprising variety of habitats for flora and fauna. The park is named for the Joshua tree, a species of yucca that dominates the landscape. You can explore the scenic desert landscape on one of several nature walks or go further afield on a day hike or overnight back-packing adventure. You can also enjoy horseback riding, mountain biking and great rock climbing and bouldering, or join one of several ranger-led programs. Spend a night camping in the park to enjoy the outstanding star gazing.
