Joshua Tree National Park has inspired adventurous travelers for generations. This is a unique location in California where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet. Less than 3 hours from San Diego and Los Angeles, the national park is famous for its distinct Joshua trees. It’s believed the twisted, prickly trees gotten their name from Mormon settlers who thought the outstretched limbs resembled the biblical figure. While Joshua Trees are the park's beloved symbol, the treasured ecosystem contains many other natural wonders.
