Joshua Tree National Park, located in southern California, is a vast desert landscape where two distinct ecosystems, the Mojave and Colorado deserts, converge. The park is named after the iconic Joshua tree, a unique species of yucca that stands tall with its twisted branches and spiky leaves, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Known for its rugged rock formations, the park attracts climbers, hikers, and stargazers, offering an array of outdoor activities. Its boulder-strewn terrain, arid mountains, and desert flora create a stark yet captivating beauty, especially during sunrise and sunset. Joshua Tree National Park is also renowned for its dark skies, making it a prime location for observing the stars and night sky free from light pollution.
