description Joshua Tree National Park Overview
Where the Mojave and Colorado deserts converge, Joshua Tree presents a fantastical landscape of twisted Joshua trees, massive granite monoliths, and gardens of spiky cholla cactus. It's a world-renowned destination for rock climbers and boulderers, with thousands of established routes. The park's clear skies also make it a premier spot for stargazing. Hiking trails range from easy nature walks to strenuous summit climbs like Ryan Mountain.
