Show Joshua Tree National ParkPalm Springs itself is a fascinating destination, but there’s something enticing about the vast expanse of protected desert lands known as Joshua Tree National Park. These wild lands are home to an interesting variety of plants and animals, and have been sculpted by centuries of wind and rain. Joshua Tree is only about an hour outside of Palm Springs, and is more than worth the trip. We recommend starting at the West entrance into the park, and continuing through the South entrance, before heading back to Palm Springs. Here are a few of the “must-see” sights in Joshua Tree National Park:
