If you love the desert, or want to learn more about it, you need to consider vacationing in Joshua Tree National Park. This southeastern California wilderness area has activities for all ages and will be a memorable experience.
The National Park Service posts a home page with pictures of the other worldly tree that gives the preserve its name. From dense forests and barren stretches of cactus and brush to sand dunes and lush oases, this region has native wildlife, migratory species, wildflowers after the rains, and a landscape that you will never forget.
Nature lovers keep a sharp eye out for the over twenty kinds of snakes, many different varieties of lizard, and over 250 species of birds that come, go, and stay. Mule deer and Bighorn sheep visit the oasis waterholes, and the wildflowers and flowering trees and cactus are spectacular after the rains. The Joshua tree is one of these, with fantastic blooms on its other-worldly branches.
The high Mojave Desert - where the Joshua trees are found in dense forests or as scattered individuals - contrasts with the lower Colorado Desert with its cactus and sandy soil grasslands. The wind-sculpted rocks and land shaped by savage rainfalls draws hikers and rock climbers from all over the world. There are over a thousand routes of all levels of difficulty.
Visitors can see the park in four-wheel drive vehicles in certain areas, can hike on trails that are half a mile to thirty-five miles in length, and go with the rangers on nature walks. There are nine campgrounds and backpacking is permitted with strict 'leave it as you find it' rules.
The Inn, in the charming artist colony of 29 Palms, was built at an oasis with the native fan palms and the Faultline Pool. There is a fine dining restaurant, a luxurious pool, WIFI to keep in touch with the outside world, and accommodations for families, business groups, and events like weddings and reunions. Guests can enjoy the complimentary continental breakfast at poolside every morning before venturing out the the Mojave Nature Preserve or Joshua Tree Park.
Vacationing in Joshua Tree National Park gives you the perfect way to experience the desert, a harsh but beautiful ecosystem that is home to a surprising array of wildlife, even though it sometimes looks like the far side of the moon.
