FYI: The slow-growing Joshua tree, which graces much of the park's desert ecosystem, is probably the most famous resident of the park. Named by Mormon settlers who crossed the Mojave Desert in the mid-1800s, the tree's unusual shape reminded them of the Bible story in which Joshua reaches his hands up to the sky in prayer. #joshuatreenationalpark #palmspring #palmsprings #socal #southcalifornia #indio #desert #summer2019🌟
