DESPITE COVID CLOSURES, JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK SEES 2.4M IN 2020

Joshua Tree National Park welcomed 2.4 million visitors in 2020, despite temporary closure orders last March, April, and May that kept many visitors at home. The Morongo Basin’s local national park was the 10th most visited national park in the United States last year. Last year was also the first time in seven years that the number of visitors did not set an attendance record. Visitation was up from 2019 during most months that the park was open. Park Superintendent David Smith said Joshua Tree National Park was a place where southern Californians could take refuge and safely recreate. “We need wild places to hike, climb, and even just to look at night skies to help keep us mentally and physically fit during tough time.”
