Many people will visit Joshua Tree National Park this weekend in celebration of Independence Day. Visitors may encounter limited parking, full campgrounds, and a line to get into the park. Park staff has some tips to prepare for your visit to a very busy park:
- As the parking lots reach maximum capacity during times of extreme visitation, visitors may be turned away from popular parking areas.
- Be flexible with your plans. The best hike may be the one where parking is readily available.
- Visitors can park along many, but not all, roadsides. Never drive over a curb to make a new parking space.
- Many campgrounds intersect with hiking trails. Campers can hike trails that connect to their campground to avoid busy parking lots.
- Finally, you may find a new favorite spot to explore in the park. Remember, there is no one best campsite, trail, or sunset spot.
