Joshua Tree National Park Things to Do Tips by Alice-Kees

Cholla Cactus Garden Cacti Review

In the eastern part of Joshua Tree NP you will come across the Cholla Cactus Garden. To have a better look at these cactus species you may follow one of the parks 12 nature trails.

From far away, the cactuses look soft and touchable, but all I can say is that these plants do not belong to the cactus family for nothing...

The vista from Keys View Key's View Review

Keys View is a place from where, on clear days, the vista extends beyond Salton Sea to Mexico and is well worth the additional 20-minute drive.

A desert that is alive Joshua Tree Review

From far away, Joshua Tree NP seems unwelcoming and forbidding, especially during a hot summer day. Like in any other national park you have a choice of many trails to walk, view points to look out from and plants, trees and animals to spot.

This mystical landscape however is best appreciated at sunrise or sunset when the warm colours of the sun merge with the red ground.

Directions: Located in Southern California between I-10 and Hwy 62; headquarters in Twentynine Palms, CA
