Joshua Tree National Park straddles the transition between the Mojave and Colorado deserts in Southern California, encompassing boulder formations of monzonite granite and vast groves of Joshua trees. The park is internationally recognized as a premier rock climbing destination, with over 8,000 documented climbing routes. Clear, dark skies away from city light pollution make the park a popular site for astrophotography of the Milky Way.
