Location
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. Joshua Tree National Park is a destination for hiking, exploring, bouldering and rock climbing. All just 45 minutes from Azure Palm Hot Springs. Hike and explore during the day, soak in hot mineral springs in the evening, and relax in comfort at night at Azure Palm Hot Springs. The best and most relaxing hot springs near Joshua Tree are at Azure Palm Hot Springs.
