When vacationing at Joshua Tree you can expect 24/7 beauty. Situated in southern California, Joshua Tree National Park contains endless natural wonders. The park is a desert ecosystem that should not be missed.

Anyone is able to visit the park with plenty of affordable homes to rent close-by. The trails at the park are almost never crowded so visitors can enjoy a vacation of self-reflection or quality time with loved ones. The desert provides a serene landscape scattered with ancient rock forms and colossal cactus. Filled with hiking trails and overlooks, this park also is home to several human-made art installations.

Monumental sculptures scatter the desert dispersed among natural stone clusters. Noah Purifoy’s Outdoor Museum provides an immersive art experience for visitors and locals alike. Noah Purifoy, the founder of the outdoor museum, was a sculptural artist best known for his celebration of found objects, in complex assemblages. The outdoor museum has a range of sculptures that are constantly shifting mainly composed of recycled appliances.

Best of the beauties of Joshua Tree though is the night sky. After the sun sets, the wide and flat desert is blanketed with darkness and brilliant constellations.
