🇺🇸Joshua Tree

Visiting Joshua Tree National Park was one of the most unexpectedly moving experiences I’ve had while traveling in the U.S. I didn’t expect to feel so small and so connected to the Earth at the same time—but that’s what this surreal landscape does to you. The tour I joined was a small group experience led by a local guide who had been exploring the park for over a decade. We started early in the morning, just as the desert sun was casting golden light across the massive boulders and the iconic, twisted Joshua trees. At first glance, the desert seems harsh and barren, but as we walked, I realized how full of life and history it really is. Our guide pointed out ancient petroglyphs, taught us about the Indigenous cultures that once thrived here, and showed us how to spot wildlife like jackrabbits and desert lizards that camouflage so well they almost disappear. We hiked through Hidden Valley, a natural rock enclosure that once served as a hideout for cattle rustlers, and then climbed up to Keys View, where I stood in silence, overlooking the vast Coachella Valley and distant mountain ranges. It was quiet—no cars, no city buzz—just the wind and the sun. What struck me most was the feeling of timelessness. The rocks felt ancient, the trees seemed frozen in mid-motion, like dancers twisted in a silent performance. It wasn’t just a sightseeing trip; it felt like a meditation. If you ever find yourself in Southern California and need to disconnect, I can’t recommend Joshua Tree enough. It’s not just a national park—it’s a place that gently reminds you how beautiful the world still is when you slow down and pay attention. #태국항공권이벤트 #joshuatree #travel
