It's just an hour away, but it's worth the detour for both music and nature lovers who are curious of what inspired U2's Fifth Studio Album title and cover.

Rock scrambling. Excellent rock scrambling opportunities. Try the 8 mile hike around the southern portion of the park.

Great Hikes!. Put on the hiking boots, grab a canteen of water and go for it. Trails are wonderful and it is easy to spend a full day enjoying the scenery.

Beautiful & Clean. Joshua Tree is far off the beaten path and thats a good thing. Not many people venture off this wonderful camping place and it shows. The park is very clean and well taken care of. It can be very hot in the day, but the nights are beautiful. Stars light up the clear skys and its always very quiet. Wildlife includes turtles, birds and frogs in the little streams that pop up during the wet season.

Though known for its trees, this desert park is also popular for its diverse recreational activities.. In Short
Comprised of the Colorado and Mojave deserts, this enormous 800,000-acre park features two desert ecosystems to explore, as well as five oases. The wetter Mojave is the habitat of the famous namesake trees, which twist like the surrounding rock formations. The Colorado provides a natural garden of cacti and bush. Daytime activities include trail hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and rock climbing. Campers should remember their binoculars for nighttime stargazing.
