Don't miss it!) Went to California for a little vacation in October, stayed at the Treasure House near Joshua Tree National Park, and had a few sunny days.

🚁 Attractions Introduction:

☑️Transmission

An artist completed in 2021, very divine and spiritual works, perfect for punching! However, there is a fence that cannot be climbed close, and it is about 20 minutes' drive from the park entrance.
On my way to Joshua tree, I accidentally came across this statue that had been lying in my pinterest for many years - "transmission".
I ended up in a Joshua tree with no signal, so I came out after dark to find out that Daniel Popper, the sculpture's creator, had retweeted my post ❤️ and interacted with the idol!

☑️Keys View

Joshua Tree National Park is a national park known for its peculiar Joshua Trees. The landscape of the park consists of desert, rocky formations and canyons. This is the closest national park to Los Angeles, and it is a very characteristic national park.
The Joshua Tree is named after an early settler of the Mormon Church. Legend has it that when these settlers crossed the Mojave Desert in the mid-19th century, they saw these unique trees as Joshua's finger pointing to heaven, hence the name "Joshua Trees." These tree-shaped cacti are peculiar in shape, with branches stretching upward, symbolizing the biblical Joshua's outstretched arms praying to heaven in battle.

The highest view of the park, you can overlook the entire desert, can also see the sky of the sea of clouds. The feeling of the sea and sky line is only so 😍 if you watch the sunset, it is also here, everyone remember to check the sunset time of the day in advance;

Super recommended to come here to watch the sunset, without climbing the mountain to see the beauty.
In the deep mountains of the park, it is the high point that can overlook the entire park, and the vision is very broad, and it is heard that it is also a good place to watch the sunset and the top. But the wind is really strong and cold, you should pay attention to keep warm.
Good place to watch the sunset. The road was closed when we went, but from the side of the road near keys view, you could see Joshua tree under a pink-purple sky, which was also very dreamy.

☑️Skull Rock
No need to go. Direct navigation to the side of the road. The Angle from the intersection is the most skeleton-like, you don't need to go in.

Big rock pile, the most famous piece of skull stone in the whole park is here, multiple directions are out of the piece, really shocking. There are so many boulders, many adventure enthusiasts rock climbing here.
In a large stone park, skeleton stones that need to be climbed on hands and feet to see need good walking shoes.

☑️Heart Rock
Heart rock can be found on Google Maps, near the arch rock trail. That's camping area, but it's not hard to find. Follow the signs and soon you'll see a round love rock. It's super cute.
Countless lovers competing to punch the love stone, one side is very smooth and the other is bumpy. It's in the same area as Arch Rock, but it's a few minutes further inside.

☑️Colla Cactus Garden

The endless cactus garden, with its furry balls and yellow flowers 🌼 looks even more spectacular at sunrise and sunset, but watch your feet. Just take a picture on the side of the road, don't get close, it really hurts to be pricked (I was pricked a dozen or so balls, and really thought I was going to die when I pulled the thorn).

☑️Arch Rock
Huge arch shape stone, need a desert hiking, hands and feet to climb up. Shooting is very out of the film, from the bottom up to shoot more magnificent sense.
Nearby is Boulder Jungle and near the camp ground, if you camping here can feel the wilderness ranger/primitive man squatting next to the rock fire feeling. Arch rock itself stands oddly among the boulders, climb to the side to take a photo.

⚠️ Precautions:

Sun protection: During the day the sun is very strong and easy to sunburn, you can wear sunglasses and hats;
Moisturizing: because in the desert, and the wind is particularly strong, every bite can eat the feeling of sand 🥲 Contact a lot of water, you can also bring a bottle of spray at any time to moisturize;
Coat: Although the sun is strong, the wind is still quite cold, and the thermal coat is a must-have.
Map: There is no mobile phone signal in the park, the sister who is driving suggests that the attractions to be entered into the navigation in advance, and remember to ask the staff to take a map when buying tickets at the gate.

⏰ Opening hours
Open all day, all year round. There's almost no line up until 9:00, plenty of parking
