Joshua Tree
Field Guide
Boulder scrambles, otherworldly trees, and some of the darkest skies in Southern California — where two deserts meet.
A complete planning guide to Joshua Tree National Park. Covers why there's no gas or reliable cell service inside the park, the best short hikes from Hidden Valley to Ryan Mountain, camping across nine very different campgrounds, rock climbing and stargazing, and how to plan around a desert where summer heat is genuinely dangerous.
