Joshua Tree National Park Essentials

Joshua Tree National Park marks the transition between the high Mojave and low Colorado deserts. This collection highlights the park's distinct geological formations, including the monzogranite boulders at Jumbo Rocks and Skull Rock, alongside unique flora like the Teddy Bear Cholla. Historical sites such as the Keys Desert Queen Ranch and Wall Street Mill provide insight into early 20th-century homesteading and mining. For expansive views, Keys View provides a panorama of the San Andreas Fault and Coachella Valley, while the Oasis Visitor Center serves as an educational hub for desert ecology.
