Klatring og fjelltopper i Joshua Tree nasjonalpark

Climbing and Peaks

Joshua Tree National Park is defined by its massive monzogranite formations and high-elevation vistas. This collection features geological landmarks like natural arches and skull-shaped outcrops alongside Keys View, which provides a panorama of the San Andreas Fault, Coachella Valley, and the Salton Sea. These sites offer access to world-class bouldering routes and interpretive trails showcasing the intersection of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts.
