Don't Miss this.

Designated a National Monument in 1936 and a National Park in 1994 the Park is not only a living source of Natural History but also provides a wealth of geological research and knowledge. It is a sort of Living University.People lived here 5000 years ago.

But it is also an adventure and playground; a place to relax, learn and simply enjoy.

A strange land of contrasts

A wonderful page Barbara! I often buy from the National Park office as they have quality souvenirs and are more likely to be made in Australia and not Asia.

We loved our visit to Joshua Tree. I'll look up Circle C should we ever get back.

Lovely page on Joshua tree, Barbara. Great pics tips. Those rock formations are amazing. I had another look here- Richard has the same irritating habit, will not use sunscreen. He ALWAYS gets sunburn...silly man

I named my son Joshua :-) He is 16 and full of life so it is quite fitting for him to be called the same name as the tree of Life! Good, informative tips and amazing pics. marion.
