Joshua Tree 1

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

 

Joshua Tree National Park is located in southeastern California.

 

It is named for the Joshua trees native to the park and covers a land area of 790,636 acres – an area slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island.

 

A large part of the park, some 429,690 acres, is a designated wilderness area. Straddling the San Bernardino County/Riverside County border. The park includes parts of two deserts, each an ecosystem whose characteristics are determined primarily by elevation: the higher Mojave Desert and lower Colorado Desert.

 

The Little San Bernardino Mountains run through the southwest edge of the park.
