National Park Week begins today, in conjunction with Earth Day, and runs until April 30.
To kick off the celebration and to commemorate the beautiful planet we live upon, entrance fees to all National Parks will be waived today. The National Park Service want to encourage everyone to enjoy their national parks in person.
Spring is a busier season here in Joshua Tree – and avoid idling in your car waiting to get into the National Park by entering though the lesser-used north entrance in Twentynine Palms.
Park rangers are working on the water filling station and the bathrooms at the West Entrance. Both the drinking water and bathrooms may be unavailable.
Don’t forget to always bring plenty of water with you before entering the park or exploring anywhere in the beautiful hi desert!
