Joshua Tree National park is the closest national park to Los Angeles area. As such, it tends to get crowded. But, going in the fall and winter people will find fewer crowds and plenty to do.
The Register-Herald posted a little travelogue of a recent visit to Joshua Tree.
It begins with:
Following a day exploring southern California’s Mojave National Preserve and overnight stays in Barstow and Twentynine Palms, we headed for Joshua Tree National Park. While the preserve and the national park are only 70 miles apart and somewhat similar in much of their terrain, each deserves a full day of exploration.
This wasn’t our first visit to Joshua Tree National Park, but this early December day, while a little windy, was sunny and seemed the perfect time to return to a park we enjoyed. During a drive through the park, we visited several campgrounds, took a stroll through a garden of jumping cacti, and watched rock climbers scale the park’s granite boulders.
