Joshua Tree National Park

The 794,000-acre Joshua Tree National Park encompasses
two large eco systems, primarily determined by elevation: The Colorado and The Mojave Deserts. Here in the Mojave section, slightly higher, cooler and wetter is the special habitat of the undisciplined Joshua Tree, which gave the park its name.
