Joshua Tree National Park has become a must see destination! A two hour drive from LA it has become a favorite weekend destination. The unique landscape and hippie-esqe atmosphere make this the perfect escape!
There is also the town of Joshua Tree and Pioneertown that are worth checking out!
When to go?
I would personally recommend going in the spring time to see the desert flowers bloom! It’s also perfect time to visit during the winter. Just be sure to pack a jacket!

Hi! I’m Emily & I am a certified travel adviser based in the Pacific Northwest!
My sister (my traveling buddy) and I love to travel to destinations that have an amazing local food scene, proximity to the outdoors and have a strong sense of culture & design. We like to travel with a balance between luxury & budget! We have been traveling together for six years and I spend hours researching our destinations to find unique places & things to do but also keeping in the classics.
Here on Thatch, I create super detailed guides and itineraries to destinations that we have personally visited or plan on visiting. These destinations have everything we love about travel! Among tips and tricks for each destination I also always include the best spots for coffee, local shopping & the best boutique hotels to stay!
If you are interested in having me book your travel as your travel adviser with potential upgrades and perks email me at emily.crum@fora.travel
My personal upcoming travel includes Vancouver, BC Canada & Costa Rica!
