The rugged terrain of Joshua Tree National Park is characterized by enormous piles of weathered granite boulders, rocky hills, and scattered Joshua trees. Over millions of years, geological forces and erosion have shaped these distinctive formations, creating a landscape of rounded rocks, steep cliffs, and narrow passages. It’s a fascinating place to explore and photograph, with something interesting around nearly every corner.
