The Mojave and Colorado deserts come together in Joshua Tree. Much like Palm Springs, Joshua Tree and the surrounding High Desert areas are full of eclectic museums, delicious restaurants, and great golf courses. But, Joshua Tree is more rural and gritty and allows travelers to explore off the beaten path. The weather is typically windier and cooler than in Palm Springs, making it perfect for a trip to escape the heat during the hot summer months.
With little light pollution in the area, you’ll get breathtaking views of the night skies, allowing you to see the stars in a way you never have before. A trip to Joshua Tree National Park should be on everyone’s bucket list.
