Joshua Tree National Park
North-East of Palm Springs is the famous Joshua Tree National Park which is named after the Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia). The Mojave Desert with its climate is the perfect place for the tree to grow. You can also find 1.6 billion year old stones in the park. Most of them show smooth edges and are formed in unique formations. We visited in 2016 during our honey moon. And yeah it was insanely hot!
