Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park, California

The Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert come together in Southern California to form the Joshua Tree National Park. Made up of 800,000 acres, this unique stretch of land was declared a U.S. National Park in 1994. Viewed from the road, the park doesn't seem to offer much but upon closer examination, visitors will find a fascinating variety of plants and animals, a rich cultural history, and surreal geological features. There are also plenty of activities to participate in including park tours, superb rock climbing, and camping.
