Joshua Tree National Park

This one is for those who love camping and need every excuse they can get to get closer to nature. You should definitely hike through Joshua Tree National Park at least once in your life… but if you do it once, we think you’ll want to visit again and again and again!

Rock climbing, watching wildlife from afar, and exploring California’s amazing flora are three of the most popular activities, so make sure you pack accordingly!

It’s also a popular destination for novice and pro astronomers alike, so if you’ve got good equipment, get ready to snap some beautiful photos or record breathtaking videos of a bright starry sky.

Just keep in mind that during the summer season, Joshua Tree can reach above 100F, so it’s best to visit during the colder months to make the most of your trip.
