Joshua Tree National Park

In addition to Death Valley

California is home to the equally fascinating Joshua Tree National Park in the desert.

This park is a barren landscape populated by twisted cactus-like trees

that guarantees a wonderful climate (the best in the state)

(Joshua trees) and rock masses resting on the ground like tombstones, creating a surreal and decidedly evocative landscape.

The park is easily navigable by car (or rented car), and many of the park's

attractions are conveniently located near roads or rest stops.
