The Joshua Tree…the Dr. Seuss-esque plant
Travel through two deserts and the transition zone between two ecosystems as you journey from the low to high desert. Below 3,000 feet, the Colorado Desert encompasses the eastern part of the Joshua Tree National Park and features natural gardens of creosote bush, ocotillo, and cholla cactus.
The higher, moister, and slightly cooler Mojave Desert is the special habitat of the Joshua tree. The western part of the park includes some of the most interesting geologic displays found in California’s deserts. Rugged mountains of twisted rock and exposed granite monoliths testify to the tremendous earth forces that shaped and formed California’s Wild West.
This tour includes multiple stops for photos, including Keys View Overlook (weather permitting) where you can see all the way to Mexico on a clear day! So don’t forget your camera, as you will want to take pictures of the gigantic boulders, Joshua trees, yuccas, and other lush plant life that thrive in this area.
NOTE: Prices are subject to change if the National Park Service raises the Park admission fee.
