Joshua Tree Hikes
The trails of Joshua Tree offer some of the world's most unique, rugged, and surreal scenery. Joshua Tree National Park is where the lower Sonoran Desert (like the one you see in old cowboy movies) meets the rugged, higher-altitude Mojave Desert. There's a trail for everyone here, from short trails that take in the iconic scenery to multi-day adventures away from the crowds. Be sure to check out my Joshua Tree hiking tips page before you go!
