Joshua Tree is one of my favorite national parks, tucked away in the California desert. It has a huge range of micro-climates, so the plants and animals are surprisingly diverse. You can easily spend a week exploring and barely touch the surface.
Sadly, scientists predict the park’s namesake trees (seen here in silhouette) will go extinct within my lifetime. Whatever brings you to this incredible landscape, let it infect you with a sense of urgency to preserve it for the future.
