Explore Joshua Tree National Park

Explore the many natural wonders at Joshua Tree National Park , including its namesake plant, in more than 550,000 acres of wilderness. Viewed from the road, this desert park only hints at its vitality. Closer examination reveals a fascinating variety of plants and animals that make their home in this land shaped by strong winds, unpredictable torrents of rain, and climatic extremes. Dark night skies filled with stars, a rich cultural history, and surreal geologic features add to the attraction of this place.

Joshua Tree is teeming with wildlife - beside the twisted trees themselves, it's home to herds of desert bighorn and six species of rattlesnakes. It's also set along the Pacific flyway for migratory birds - you might spot some amazing avians resting up for the rest of their long journey. Joshua Tree also has incredible geologic features, including exposed granith monoliths and rugged canyons.
