LA Nearby｜Joshua Tree Solo Road Trip Guide 🚗🌵

Drive 2.5 hours from Los Angeles and step into a world that feels out of this planet. 📍 Joshua Tree National Park 🚗 Transport: From LA → Joshua Tree, about 2.5 hours — self-drive strongly recommended. 🎟 Entrance: $30 per vehicle (valid 7 days). 🕰 Half-Day Highlights Route: ① Hidden Valley – easy trail, great for first-timers, lots of Joshua trees and rocks for photos. ② Barker Dam – reservoir + boulders + true desert feel. ③ Skull Rock – famous photo spot, looks like a skull! ④ Keys View (Must!) – overlooks the whole desert, absolutely magical at sunset. ⚠️ Important Tips: • Very little signal — download offline maps ahead. • Bring plenty of water — at least 2L per person. • Big temperature drop at night — pack a jacket. • No gas inside the park — fill up before entering. 🧡 Standing under a Joshua tree, you realize — the world is so vast, and our worries so small. In that moment, nothing matters but the wind, the rocks, the sky, and you. #JoshuaTree #RoadTrip #DesertVibes #SoloTravel #LATravel #CaliforniaParks #NatureHeals #SunsetViews 🏜️✨
