25. Joshua Tree National Park
Joshua Tree National Park is a stunning desert park in southern California. It covers over 790,000 acres of land and is known for its unique rock formations, rugged landscapes, and iconic Joshua trees.
When I visit Joshua Tree National Park, I car camp, picnic, watch wildlife, photograph the Milky Way, and create star trails in the night sky.
