Joshua Tree National Park
|
Joshua Tree National Park in southern California extends over parts
of two desert ecosystems – the lower elevation of the Colorado desert
with its unique Cholla cacti in the eastern part, and the Mojave desert
in the higher, western part that is famous for the Joshua Trees that
thrive there. In addition to Joshua Trees and Cholla Cacti, Joshua Tree
National Park is known for its large, rounded boulders and its beautiful
sunsets. Joshua Tree National Park is also home to a couple of lush, green
oases that seem to hide amongst rock boulders surrounded by arid desert.
For more information about Joshua Tree National Park, visit their website
