Joshua Tree National Park is located in the southernmost region of California. This park is home to two distinct desert ecosystems named the Mojave and Colorado. Joshua Tree lies at an ecological crossroads where the high Mojave Desert meets the low Colorado Desert. The park is named after these Joshua trees as they are the largest of the yuccas tree species ever found and can grow up to 12 meters (39 feet) tall over 150 years. Joshua trees are majorly found in the Mojave desert region of Joshua Tree National Park, California. Staying at Joshua Tree Village is a must as this huge park cannot be explored fully in a day.
