After spending two days camping in Joshua Tree, I can honestly say the Joshua Tree itself feels as rugged and strange as the landscape around it. Its bark is coarse, almost like old rope, and the leaves are sharp and stiff—definitely not something you’d want to brush up against by accident. But there’s something about standing next to one that feels powerful, like you’re face to face with something ancient and resilient. During the trip, I ended up putting together a two-day itinerary on Pinerary just to capture everything we did—sunrise hikes, stargazing, wandering through those surreal tree-filled valleys. The Joshua Trees aren’t just part of the scenery—they’re what give the place its soul. Touching one made me stop and really appreciate how alive the desert is, even in its harshness.
The Joshua Tree is taller and has small spikes. The Mojave Yucca is small, stubby, and has really long spikes.
