The holidays are upon us, and, the staff at Joshua Tree National Park is expecting very busy weekends. As early as Friday mornings, campgrounds will fill with campers, climbers, and hikers, and day use visitors will enjoy the mild temperatures during this holiday season. Cooler temperatures may also provide a chance for visitors to see more wildlife whom may come out to seek the suns warmth. Ranger-led programs will be offered to visitors with schedules available on the web, in the visitor centers, entrance stations and posted on campground bulletin boards. Expect daytime temperatures to run into the low to mid 70’s, but nighttime temps are dropping down into the upper 30’s, so don’t forget to come prepared. Layer your clothing, carry lots of water, and wear a good hat and sunscreen. On behalf of the Staff of Joshua Tree National Park, and from our park families to yours, have a safe and happy holiday season.
