Joshua Tree National Park

Good for a day trip. we spent ~3 hours inside. it was a little over one hour drive from Palm Springs.

Very big park Drive in for several hours or for several days to complete the trip There are many zones. But we choose to go to a simple and interesting walk.

Joshua Tree National Park is located in southern California. It became a national historical memorial area in 1936. In 1994, the United States Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act (Public Law 103-433), which was officially established. The Joshua tree is actually a large silk orchid. The name of the Joshua tree was taken by Mormon pioneers because its branches stretched upwards and looked like a "praying tree" from February to April.

A park with strange rocks and Joshua Trees. The land is desert. The area is very vast. One day trip will not be finished.

This National Park is a relatively newly developed scenic spot, relatively cold. Located on the east side of Los Angeles by Palm Spring. It covers a large area, but most of the park is desert. We enter from the Northeast gate of the park and then exit from the West gate, which is about a fifth of the area. The largest number of stones in the park, except deserts, are said to have sunk under the ocean many years ago, because of crustal movement. Because of these rocky mountains, it is also a paradise for rock climbers. Almost every rock climber is brave. We have annual tickets for national parks, so we don't know how much they cost, but they should be inexpensive. The Joshua tree is a kind of tree in this park, but we don't know which kind of tree it is.

The signboard Joshua Tree commemorates the time when the deserters were dying in the desert. It was seen that the tree still survived in bad conditions all year round, and the tree was shaped like the biblical leader Joshua beckoning to the victor.
