Why go there?

Joshua Tree National Park is one of the most iconic and beautiful places in the United States. The park is home to Joshua trees, which are twisted trees that grow to be about 40 feet tall. The trees are named for the Old Testament prophet, stretching out his hands in prayer. Joshua Tree National Park is also home to rugged rock formations and stark desert landscapes. The park straddles the cactus-dotted Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert.
