4K Road Trip with Live GPS & Landmark Info! – Joshua Tree National Park Scenic Drive
[Turn on English subtitles for detailed landmark descriptions! ✨]

Experience a stunning 4K scenic drive through Joshua Tree National Park in southeastern California, USA.

Joshua Tree National Park covers a vast area of about 3,200 km²—roughly four times the size of New York City. It is beloved for its diverse ecosystems, striking rock formations, and its namesake plant, the Joshua tree. With its irregular branches and spiky leaves, it creates surreal silhouettes that define the park’s landscape.

The park is broadly divided into two main desert ecosystems. In the higher elevations above 900 meters lies the Mojave Desert, where Joshua trees and massive rock formations are prominent features. In contrast, the lower elevations are part of the Colorado Desert, home to a variety of cacti and desert wildlife. The stark differences between these two deserts are clearly visible within the park, allowing visitors to experience two entirely distinct natural environments within a single park.

Today, this park is a haven for hiking, camping, rock climbing, and stargazing, offering countless ways to experience the wonders of the desert.

In this video, we enter the park through the North Entrance and visit:
🌵 Cholla Cactus Garden, where thousands of chollas grow densely together
🌵 Skull Rock, a curious boulder shaped like a skull
🌵 Keys View, a lookout at about 1,580 meters with sweeping views of the San Andreas Fault and the vast desert
🌵 Hidden Valley Trail, a 1.6 km loop through a valley enclosed by rugged rock formations
We exit the park through the West Entrance.

Enjoy the expansive desert landscapes, unique geology, and diverse plant life of Joshua Tree National Park.

Thank you, as always, for watching! 🙏
