🌵 Day Trip from LA: Palm Springs + Joshua Tree National Park

Just got back from an amazing day trip from LA to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree! 🚗💨 Also stopped by the giant dinosaur statues and the flamingos at JW Marriott (yes, the same ones Lisa from BLACKPINK saw! 🦩✨). The desert scenery was absolutely stunning. Here’s my action-packed guide — save it for your next adventure, girls! 👇 🚗 Itinerary: 7:00 AM: Depart from Los Angeles 📍 Cabazon Dinosaurs – Giant dinosaur sculptures 🦖 Perfect for fun photos! You’ll pass many wind turbines along the way — they look amazing against the desert backdrop! 📍 Downtown Palm Springs Parking – Home to the giant Marilyn Monroe statue 💃 📍 JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort – Beautiful flamingos 🦩 (So pretty but SO sunny — wear sunscreen! ☀️) 📍 Joshua Tree National Park Explored highlights: Arch Rock ❤️, Skull Rock 💀, Cholla Cactus Garden 🌵, Barker Dam, Keys View 🌇 The park is huge, but these spots are must-sees! 5:00 PM: Head back to LA for dinner 🍽️ 💡 Tips: 💧 Bring plenty of water & snacks — the desert is super dry! 🧢☀️ Hat and sunglasses are a MUST — it’s really sunny! 👟 Wear comfortable shoes — you’ll be walking a lot 📱 Download offline maps — service is spotty in the park 🌵 Be careful around cacti — those spines hurt! Especially if wearing long skirts/pants #LADayTrip #PalmSprings #JoshuaTree #DesertVibes #TravelGuide #CaliforniaAdventure #FlamingoSpotting #DesertPhotography
