Joshua Tree - Palm Springs 🌵

Joshua Tree National Park is a surreal desert landscape where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet, famous for its twisted Joshua trees, rugged rock formations, and clear night skies perfect for stargazing. Just a short drive away, Palm Springs offers a contrasting oasis of luxury, known for its mid-century modern architecture, chic resorts, and vibrant arts scene. Nestled beneath the San Jacinto Mountains, it's a hotspot for relaxation, with palm-lined streets, upscale dining, and natural hot springs. Together, these destinations offer the perfect blend of adventure and leisure in the California desert.
