Joshua Tree National Park Self-Guided Driving Tour

About this tour

Embark on a mesmerizing journey through Joshua Tree National Park with our specially curated audio tour. As you navigate the vast landscape, here’s what awaits you.

Come along on a super easy and fun tour through Joshua Tree Park with our guide for your ears. You’ll start walking at Bajada Nature Trailhead. It’s like a big, quiet space outside where you can walk and listen to desert sounds.

Then, go to Cottonwood Visitor Center. It’s a place where you can learn simple things about the desert and animals. After that, the Pinto Basin Sand Dunes Trailhead looks like a giant playground of sand, with hills made of sand that don’t move.

Next, see the Ocotillo Patch. It has tall, skinny plants that stick up like fingers. The Cholla Cactus Garden has lots of cacti that are pointy and stand close together. They look tough but interesting.

Look out for Arch Rock and Heart Rock too. They are rocks that nature has made into special shapes. The Split Rock Loop Trail has more funny-shaped rocks to see. Skull Rock is really cool because it looks like a huge stone face!

Near the end, at Barker Dam Trailhead, there’s a spot with water, which is surprising in the dry desert. And lastly, there’s Wall Street Mill. It’s an old building where you can think about the old days. Listen and learn about all these neat things in the simplest way on our tour!
