About

Located in the high desert of California lies Joshua Tree. It's home to both a town and a national park named after the iconic and distinct Joshua trees that pepper the landscape—twisted, spiky trees belonging to the Agave family. Joshua Tree National Park covers the Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert and is an excellent spot for hiking, rock climbing or other outdoor activities. But there’s more to offer than just the national park. Joshua Tree is an eclectic Old West town with a thriving art scene. To get your fix of quirky art, check out the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum or the World Famous Crochet Museum. In the evening, nosh on some barbeque at Pappy & Harriet’s and wet your whistle at Joshua Tree Saloon.
