We would like to thank Jacob Gonzalez of Riverside for submitting outstanding photos of his favorite San Bernardino County destination.

Joshua Tree National Park is a great place for people who love nature, rock climbing, photography and outdoor adventures. Visitors can also hike on many trails, camp under the stars and view wildlife. If you visit at night, you can enjoy the dark sky and have a clear view of the stars and constellations. We encourage you to plan your trip today.
