Just coming up for the day? No problem!

This trip works best from Palm Springs or

Indio. Or, if you are heading WEST on Hwy
10 towards Los Angeles, you can make this
detour (Don't tell me you are in too much
of a rush to get to LA!?!)

You'll get to cruise the entire park and

have dinner in Joshua Tree!

GET YOUR PARK PASS ON-
