15 Places to Explore in Joshua Tree National Park

Yoo wassup man. I’m here with my girlfriend and her dog and we are using your video to guide our day. Thank you for the insight.

I'm gonna say this for anyone who is new to joshuatree national park. Do not go by yourself, make sure you bring more water than you think you'll need, and never leave the trails. There are so many times where the local search and rescue will have to go out and look for someone who went "exploring" and got lost. Most of the time they don't get found.

I have to apologize to you and your wonderful video. My wife and I have been to Joshua Tree National Park many times. We never once stopped to look up places to see there, we just enjoyed driving through. So when I encountered your video, I scoffed, and literally said to her, "let's watch this, I bet we know all but one of the fifteen places!" Then we watched it, and my jaw dropped. I had ZERO CLUE there were so many wonderful things in Joshua Tree. You have blown my mind. We now plan to go many many many more times and check out all the awesome stuff you packed into this really great video. You're the best!

This is so beautiful. This makes me so excited to visit Joshua Tree.

Just visited Joshua Tree for the first time a couple weeks back, absolutely fell in love with it. The towering rock stacks are unreal. Great video!

ive been going to JT for YEARS now, and this helped me find new places to explore. Thanks!

I've been watching a lot of JT videos in preparation for our trip. This was the best one!

So many great tips! Really want to go here next year!

I hung out there before it became a National Park. An old timer once told me that the entrance to the inner earth was not far from Barker Dam. I also remember a huge rock perfectly shaped like a Dice standing on it’s corner that looked man made. A truly magical place… thanks!!

Great video! No fluff, just straightforward recommendations.

Wow, I have been out to Joshua Tree 3 times and I never knew about half of these cool spots. I have to go back and check more of it out. Thanks for the guide.

I used to live near Joshua tree and loved hiking in the rocks with my dog. When I was a girl my bus driver was Johnny Keys and he invited use to his ranch. Loved it! He had special breed of goats and a horse that did tricks. I think his name was Red or Bouger Red. Johnny was a wonderful man! What a great place to grow up!!!!! I miss the desert and your pictures brought back so many good memories. Beautiful sunsets and snow in winter was a fairyland! I hope people will treat it with care. ❤️

Thank you for creating this informational video. Here are is my feedback/ tips/updates: 1) Desert Queen Ranch requires an online reservation. 2) Wall Street Mill was the highlight of my hiking. Finding the old cars & mill were great. 3) Keys View was breathtaking. (This is not a hike. It is vista with a paved parking lot) 4) Cap rock is a level loop trail with lots of shade and a 1/3 of mile long. Great "hike" if you have elderly guests or children with you. 6) Make sure you download a hiking map before you hike Samuelson Rocks. If I wouldn't have done that, I would have gotten lost coming back. 7) Flashlights were lifesavers coming back from Ryan Mountain.

I'm planning a trip to California in a few months and I've been going through all your national park videos. Lots of great ideas!

Josh bro I love you. You’re THE BEST resource for California travel

There is a hippo shaped rock close to jumbo rocks. I love waking up early in the morning to see the skyline patterns....so beautiful

This is an excellent over view for pre planning, thank you for sharing !

Absolute beautiful scenery! This opened my eyes to the wonders of the world and further inspired me on my dreams of adventure all over the world! Thank you so much for sharing! =D

Outstanding video! Loads of information, helpful narration, and you have a lovely sense of wonder and appreciation for the park that really shined through. Made me eager to return soon. Thank you!

This place was amazing! Had to believe it’s only 2hrs away from LA. We loved our time there. Fantastic place for peace and tranquilly. These spots were awesome.
