Joshua Tree National Park – CA

#springitinerary Spring in Joshua Tree is surreal and serene. The desert comes alive with blooming cacti, bright yellow brittlebush, and clusters of Joshua tree flowers. I hiked Hidden Valley under perfect blue skies and mild temps, surrounded by giant boulders and twisted trees. The peacefulness here is unreal — no crowds, just birdsong and the occasional lizard. At night, I camped under stars that felt close enough to touch. #springitinerary tip: catch a sunrise at Keys View — unforgettable. If you want solitude, stargazing, and surprising bursts of color in the desert, Joshua Tree in spring is a must!
