Joshua Tree National Park may be visited year round. Each season adds its personality to the desert's character (http://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/desertpark.htm).

Visitor centers (http://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/hours.htm) and wayside exhibits, providing opportunities to acquaint yourself with park resources, are located along main roads leading into and through the park. Publications about the park are sold by the Joshua Tree National Park Association (http://www.joshuatree.org/) at visitor centers and on the web.

Ranger-guided activities can increase your enjoyment and understanding of the park. Walks, hikes, and campfire talks (http://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/programs.htm) are conducted chiefly in the spring and fall; schedules are available at entrance stations and visitor centers, and are posted on campground bulletin boards.

Several picnic areas for day use are available. You must bring water.

Joshua Tree National Park is immense, nearly 800,000 acres, and infinitely variable. It can seem unwelcoming, even brutal during the heat of summer when, in fact, it is delicate and extremely fragile. This is a land shaped by strong winds, sudden torrents of rain, and climatic extremes. Rainfall is sparse and unpredictable. Streambeds are usually dry and waterholes are few. Viewed in summer, this land may appear defeated and dead, but within this parched environment are intricate living systems waiting for the opportune moment to reproduce. The individuals, both plant and animal, that inhabit the park are not individualists. They depend on their entire ecosystem for survival.
