Hiking is one of the best things to do in Joshua Tree National Park. 

Leave Los Angeles after rush hour and head to Palm Springs for an amazing trip. Today you can take a ride on the world’s largest rotating cable car, and experience 360 degrees of unparalleled mountain and desert views until you reach the top of the mountain which stands at 8,516 feet tall.

Explore the hiking trails nearby, or visit one of the most extensive collections of aircraft at a local museum. This museum was rated as one of the top 14 in the world by CNN! Then get settled in your hot springs and spa resort. There are several hot and cold natural pools you can relax beneath the palm trees in the afternoon—perfect for a family.

Cable cars, airplanes, and hot springs

Once you’re awake, head out to explore the unique landscape with sculptured red rocks and rare Joshua Trees plus other desert cacti growing in large numbers. Our local destination experts will tell you exactly which areas to visit and spend time in depending on your interest. There are many highlights you don't want to miss and you can fill your day with nature experiences on walks, hikes, and special views that you won't find anywhere else. 

Wild animals can be seen in the rocky area including bighorn sheep and lots of birds, especially close to a wonderful fan palm oasis. You can do a fun hike through boulder piles and desert washes and enjoy Joshua tree forests and panoramic views of the San Andreas Fault, Mt. San Jacinto (which you visited yesterday), and the Salton Sea.

Head back to town for a restful soak in the springs, before a comfortable night in bed.

Full day of adventure at Joshua Tree National Park 

After breakfast at your hotel restaurant and maybe another short swim in the hot springs, leave to go to Palm Springs for some amazing walks and hikes through the canyons. This area abounds with unique flora and fauna; old-growth native Californian Palms towering over hidden ponds creating a mysterious environment in the middle of the desert. These are sacred lands to the local tribe which has lived here for thousands of years.

In the later afternoon, after you’ve finished exploring, return home to Los Angeles and start thinking about your next trip out.
