The connection I felt with Joshua Tree was almost immediate. Almost too immediate, honestly, because the experiences I had entering the park were sudden, chaotic, and grand. I’ve never entered a park in such a fashion. Usually, my first hours in a national park are planned out, methodical, and subdued. Not so in Joshua Tree where I entered the park at sunset, saw the 2022 lunar eclipse, and then experienced my first earthquake. It was thrilling. I love Joshua Tree for a lot of reasons- its strange beauty, its open vastness, its overwhelming quiet and the solitude of the Mojave, but, honestly? Those first moments of frantic connection and discovery set the whole tone for my relationship with what is now one of my favorite national parks.
