Joshua Tree National Park

The Joshua Tree National Park encompasses one of the most interesting and the diverse patches of the desert in the United States. Its namesake species, the spiky, dramatically crooked Joshua tree is also considered by many to be the defining characteristic of the Mojave Desert. But this huge desert park actually lies at the meeting point of the Mojave and the Sonoran Deserts. The eastern and southern precincts of the park, with its sub 3000 foot elevation and the plants such as creosote bush, jumping cholla cactus and the spidery ocotillo, is Sonoran in character while its western precincts are higher, cooler, wetter and quite densely forested with the namesake tree of the park. http://www.wildlifeworld360.com/joshua-tree-national-park.html
