North to the Twilight Zone: The Joshua Tree National Park is where the Mojave and the Colorado Deserts converge in a weird and wonderful collage of strange desert flora and even stranger desert landforms. The flat desert expanses are studded with the Joshua Trees, which are not trees at all, but over-grown yuccas reaching 35 feet high and living for hundreds of years. The exclamation marks on this other-worldly scene are the towering piles of boulders that are remnants of magma upwelling from the earth’s interior and now present the perfect vantage points to contemplate this unique landscape.
