Editorial Review for Joshua Tree National Park – by Katie Heffernan
In Short
Comprised of the Colorado and Mojave deserts, this enormous 800,000-acre park features two desert ecosystems to explore, as well as five oases. The wetter Mojave is the habitat of the famous namesake trees, which twist like the surrounding rock formations. The Colorado provides a natural garden of cacti and bush. Daytime activities include trail hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and rock climbing. Campers should remember their binoculars for nighttime stargazing.

Insider Tips
When to GoTake your walk at sunset. Both nocturnal and diurnal animals are out at this time of day, and you'll enjoy cooler temperatures underneath a beautiful desert sky.

Excellent rock scrambling opportunities. Try the 8 mile hike around the southern portion of the park.

Put on the hiking boots, grab a canteen of water and go for it. Trails are wonderful and it is easy to spend a full day enjoying the scenery.
