Joshua Tree National Park

Desert Ecosystems

Two desert areas come together in Joshua Tree National Park: the high Mojave Desert and the low Colorado Desert.

The Mojave, more than 3,000 feet above sea level, gets more rain and has odd-looking Joshua Trees and unique rock formations.

On the other hand, the lower and drier Colorado Desert, in the eastern part of the park, has tough plants like creosote, ocotillo, and cholla cacti.

These ecosystems are separated mainly by height, which makes a landscape with strong differences. Visitors may see unique plants, animals, and striking landforms, enjoying the variety and beauty of desert life in one amazing place.
