Joshua Tree National Park is a desert national park in south-eastern California. Popular activities enjoyed by visitors to the area include hiking, camping, photography and rock climbing. People who are vacationing in Joshua Tree National Park may find the city of Twentynine Palms a convenient place in which to stay. The Twentynine Palms Inn has many rooms in its historic collection of adobe and wood cabins. There is also a bar/restaurant and a pool.
Joshua trees are a kind of Yucca plant, native to the Mojave Desert in the south-western United States. They were given their name by Mormon travelers in 19th-century, who thought that the plant resembled Joshua reaching his arms up to heaven in the biblical story. The profile of the trees was raised in 1987 by the album "The Joshua Tree", by the Irish rock band U2.
There are two desert ecosystems in the park, Mojave Desert and the Colorado Desert. The Mojave desert is higher and drier, and slightly cooler. As well as Joshua trees, this desert area contains interesting rock formations and boulder piles which are popular with rock climbing enthusiasts.
The eastern part of the park, the Colorado Desert section, is lower in altitude and contains many cacti, such as Cholla cactus, as well as Creosote bush scrub and desert Saltbush. A particular thick and prickly stand of cactus is called the Cholla Cactus Garden.
Popular activities enjoyed by visitors to the area include hiking, camping, photography and rock climbing. Certain areas are designated as wilderness areas, and there are restrictions on camping, and special regulations applied to rock climbing in these areas. Check details with a ranger.
There are 5 oases, and the vegetation here includes the only palm native to the state, the Californian Fan Palm. At the Mara Oasis one may visit the city of Twentynine Palms, which is the Park headquarters, as well as housing a large contingent of US military personnel.
