Joshua Tree, California

San Bernardino County · Card no. 6953

A high desert park where two deserts meet, full of twisted trees that are not trees and boulders climbers come for.

The Joshua tree is a yucca, named by Mormon travelers who saw arms raised in prayer.
Keys View looks across to the San Andreas Fault and, on clear days, Mexico.
The park has some of the darkest night skies in Southern California.
