Joshua Tree National Park, California
Why It’s Cool: The scenery here is stunning, the nearly 800,000-acre Joshua Tree National Park is incredible. The park sits at the intersection of two very different ecosystems: To the east is the low-lying Colorado Desert; to the west lies the slightly higher, cooler, wetter Mojave Desert (home to the park’s namesake, the Joshua tree). The park also has 10 mountain peaks higher than 5,000 feet in elevation, making it a popular rock-climbing destination. It'll quickly leave you breathless while hiking if you live at sea level.
Where to Camp: The park is home to nine established campgrounds. Some campsites require reservations October to May. The rest of the sites are first come, first served. Backcountry camping is allowed, but campers must register in advance at a designated backcountry registration board.
When It’s Open: Year-round. Visitor center and campground status vary by season.
Cost: The entrance fee is $20 per vehicle and is valid for seven days. Annual passes are available for $30, and national passes are accepted. Camping costs $15 per site per night without water, or $20 with potable water. For more information, visit the park's website.
