Joshua Tree Nat. Park: Palm Springs

Joshua Tree was designated a National Park in 1994. The area possesses a rich human history and a pristine natural environment. Two deserts, two large ecosystems whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation, come together at Joshua Tree National Park.

Visitors to Joshua Tree National Park can enjoy hiking, picnicking, wildflower viewing, birding, interpretive walks and talks and camping. Visitor centers, ranger stations, entrance stations and wayside exhibits are located along main roads leading into and through the park.
