Joshua Tree National Park Official Website
Joshua Tree National Park is located in Southern California about 150 miles east of L.A.
The Park is bordered by two seperate desert ranges. The Mojave Desert area on the West and the Colorado Desert on the East.
JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK
The fauna of Joshua Tree is made up of reptiles. Because of the desert climate, not many other types of animals and mammals can survive. The park consists of 1 tortoise, 18 lizards, and 25 different species of snakes. The flora, however, is much more diverse. The park was originally to be named Desert Plants National Park because of the 700 different species of plants, including the famous Joshua Tree. While there are many parts of the park where plants are unable to grow (because of the desert climate and rocky soil), there is still plenty of room for all the different trees and shrubs. Species of trees include:
Joshua Tree, Desert Willow, Californian Fan Palm, and many more.
Some shrub species include:
Mojave Yucca, Teddy Bear Cholla, Cheesebush, and many, many more.
Joshua Tree National Park has a mid-latitude desert climate. This basically means that days are typically clear with less than 25 precent humidity. Temperatures in the sping and fall keep a nice average of 85F for the high and the low being around 50F. Winter brings cooler days, around 60F on average and freezing nights. It occasionally snows at higher elevations. Summers are hot - over 100F during the day and only as low as 75F until the early morning.
