Palm Springs, near Riverside County, is a lovely desert oasis city in the Coachella Valley. (Don’t doubt it! The Coachella Music Festival, the favorite of bloggers, is here!). Palm SpringThere are the famous national park Joshua Tree National Park, more than 130 hot spring hotels and resorts, Dotted golf course; plusAlmost two hours drive from both Los Angeles and San DiegoAs a result, it has become a good place for people of South Africa to spend weekends and small vacations, and has long been a famous scenic spot on US Highway 1.
Whenever you come to Palm Springs, Joshua Tree National Park is a good sight not to be missed. Joshua Tree National Park was originally a national monument of 790,636 acres, spanning the two cities of Riverside and San Bernardino County. In 1994, the United States Congress passed the "California Desert Conservation Act", which was officially established as a national park. Don't look at it as a national park in the desert, the activities are varied. Here, you can watch a variety of wild plants, wildlife, hiking, climbing, camping, bird watching, stargazing, or studying geological astronomy.
When you come to the desert, you have to see the famous Joshua Tree. Joshua Tree is mainly grown at the intersection of Mojave Desert and Colorado Desert due to its unique growth conditions. Go to Queen Vally and Lost Horse Vally in the middle of the desert (it sounds mysterious), you can see this kind of tree with a strange appearance and other desert flora.
This kind of tree is locally called Yucca brevifolia or Yucca palm,Only seen in California. It looks like a small green fan. I don't know why, the hot desert with this small fan-like tree reminds the editor of my country's traditional beauty Princess Iron Fan. In addition, there are many other rare species of trees, such as California Juniper, Piñon Pine, and Cylindropuntia Bigelovii, which are very worth seeing.
2. Viewing, climbing, and studying geology
