Hi Steemit friends,
Today I'd like to share with you one of my favorite places for glam-ping. Joshua Tree does really feel like a magical place given by the gigantic rocks and their formations. Hope you guys enjoy this!

Joshua Tree a true desert wilderness is just a few hours outside Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. About 1.4 million visitors come to the park each year to enjoy activities such as hiking, camping, photography, rock climbing, and simply enjoying the serene desert scenery.

One of the many great things of Joshua Tree is the plants. You can easily spot the Joshua Tree everywhere in the desert, also known as the Yucca brevifolia. VCST0090.JPG

Not to mentioned you can also spot the beavertail pricklypear cactus.

Geologists believe the face of our modern landscape was born more than 100 million years ago. Molten liquid, heated by the continuous movement of Earth’s crust, oozed upward and cooled while still below the surface. These plutonic intrusions are a granitic rock called monzogranite.

"Why not take my pet with me?"....pets are certainly welcome at Joshua Tree.

Pets are natural hunters, so going to a place like Joshua Tree can be very fun and exciting.

On our firsts night there, we were able to watch one of the prettiest sunset I have ever seen.

At night the sky is a glittering dome peppered with stars, planets, and passing meteors—but most people no longer get to see it. Our ancestors experienced a dark night sky. Cultures around the world told stories about the constellations and used the stars as a calendar.

Boasting some of the darkest nights in Southern California, Joshua Tree National Park offers many visitors the chance to admire the Milky Way for the first time in their lives.

In conclusion, if you ever have a chance to visit Joshua Tree, make sure to make enouh time to enjoy a night of stargazing. This place is a desert so make sure to plan accordingly to the time of the year. Hope you guys enjoyed this, feel free to drop a line below.
