Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park is unique with its 558,000 acres comprising two different ecosystems.....the Colorado and Mojave deserts.

Joshua Tree iss located in the arid area of Southern California and is a short distance from the famous playground of the stars, Palm Springs. The Rat Pack played in one of these and the kangeroo rat the other. The latter sustained life from moisture derived from seeds, the other from "moisture on the rocks".


If the picture of rock formations look familiar to you.......they should! Dozens of westerns were filmed in this area. Outside of the Park entrance a complete "cowboy town" still remains. Gene Autry, the Cisco Kid, and many other stars made film, TV shows here. The National Parks are our national treasures.
