Joshua Tree National Park
Mojave desert sanctuary
Joshua Tree National Park is a protected desert wilderness in southeastern California where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet.
Named for the distinctive Joshua trees—tall, spiky yuccas that grow throughout the higher elevations—the park draws hikers, rock climbers, and stargazers: We camped at Joshua Tree over spring break.
The park's surreal landscape of twisted trees and massive boulder formations has made it a counterculture touchstone.
