About this listen

Explore the alien landscape of Joshua Tree with Johnny Mac, where twisted, spiky giants create one of the most distinctive and otherworldly environments in the National Park System. Discover how the meeting of the Mojave and Colorado deserts creates two completely different ecosystems within a single park, from the famous Joshua trees of the higher elevations to the stark beauty of the lower desert. Experience the spectacular panoramic views from Keys View, learn which easy walks like Skull Rock and Hidden Valley offer the best introduction to desert life, and understand why this park attracts rock climbers from around the world. From incredible night sky viewing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California to photographing surreal rock formations that seem borrowed from another planet, Johnny reveals how to appreciate a landscape that teaches patience, endurance, and the surprising beauty found in harsh places.
