Weekend Escape to Joshua Tree National Park
Just after COVID-19 restrictions loosened up, we were so thirsty to grasp a breath of fresh air and to feel the beautiful rays of the sun but avoiding the crowd. Brainstorming where to go for a one-day trip – my husband and I thought of going to Joshua Tree National Park.
Yes! Joshua Tree National Park is the perfect park to explore in just one day – just enough time to see the highlights. We started our trip super early just to avoid traffic and to see the cacti and the Joshua Trees illuminates and glow as they catch the morning sun.
Some of the highlights of our one-day trip to Joshua Tree:
- Hiking the trails at Cholla Cactus Garden
- Exploring the boulders
- Building memories by taking photos
- Scenic Drive around the park
- Sunset at Keys View
As we exit the park, the view of the sun fading away illuminates a shade of purple and pink on the valley below. Catching the last light of the day is epic. The park is incredibly diverse and has something that everyone enjoys at an affordable cost. It is worth the trip!
