Travel Series National Parks with Jackie

National parks offer extraordinary experiences; it’s not always possible to get to a park. Take a virtual tour with us and see the glory, hear nature sounds, discuss the journey.

Joshua Tree is our closest National Park. One and a half hours drive, east of Los Angeles and north of Palm Springs. It is a special habitat of the Joshua tree for which the park is named. It is famed for its incredible rock formations.

Two distinct desert ecosystems, the Mojave and the Colorado, come together in Joshua Tree National Park. A fascinating variety of plants and animals make their homes in a land sculpted by strong winds and occasional torrents of rain. Dark night skies, a rich cultural history, and surreal geologic features add to the wonder of this vast wilderness in southern California.

Join us as we explore the history, people, and landscape of Joshua Tree National Park!
