"Rugged mountains, gold mining ruins, desert plains dotted with oddball trees—Joshua Tree National Park is a unique and wonderful place. The park lies at an ecological crossroads, where the high Mojave Desert meets the low Colorado Desert. That marriage results in amazing desert flora, including those distinctive namesake trees. The beauty here shines around the clock, with vibrant sunsets melting into nights filled with uncountable stars perfect for stargazing."

Keys Viewpoint
Keys Viewpoint is where you should go to see the sunset.
It is well worth the drive up to Keys View, a lookout point at an elevation of more than 5,000 feet, with sweeping views extending out over the Coachella Valley.
As you drive up here, the elevation changes, the temperature is noticeably cooler, and the landscape takes on a whole different character.
