Review:
Joshua Tree National Park is at the junction of the Mojave and Colorado deserts in Southern California. Visitors can explore the two desert ecosystems independently, but to get a true understanding of the region, there are numerous tours on offer, from guided hiking tours to open-air Hummer tours. Joshua Tree is widely known for the climbing, scrambling, and rappelling opportunities scattered throughout the park’s surreal geologic landscape. Indian Cove is a rock climbers’ paradise. For those fascinated by Joshua trees, Covington Flats provides the best concentration. Black Rock Canyon is great for wildlife viewing. Designated a Dark Sky Park, Joshua Tree is the perfect place to see the Milky Way like never before.
