10 Things to do in Joshua Tree National Park & its Neighbors
As an LA local, Joshua Tree can be the perfect getaway from the city. It is only a 2 hour drive away from LA so you can simply be there for a weekend to ease your mind. Joshua Tree is the place where you do not need wifi & your phone. You are here to enjoy nature and stargaze before you fall asleep. Make sure to go camping or glamping if you plan on spending the night there to get the full experience!
