[2025 Riverside County Attraction] Travel Guide for Cholla Cactus Garden Trail (Updated May)

#springitinerary The Cholla Cactus Garden in spring? Like walking through a field of golden light! These "teddy bear" chollas glow at sunrise, and tiny pink and yellow desert blooms added unexpected pops of color during my visit. The air was cool and crisp — ideal for wandering the boardwalk without the summer heat. Pro tip: wear closed shoes, those cacti are spiky up close! I stayed after sunset and watched the sky explode with stars — spring nights in Joshua Tree are incredible. #springitinerary gold if you love unique landscapes and peace.

#globaltravel Joshua Tree is a national park with many interesting trees. It is located in a desert area, so the whole park is desert💛 There are trees, aloe, cacti, stones, sand, is the sight I saw on TV 🥹 beautiful and can climb on the rocks to sit quietly and watch the sunset, slightly breeze, the whole feeling is really comfortable 🫶🏻 The whole park is too big, I only went to two places, the other place is the cactus garden🌵 but now it is not allowed to walk in, you can only drive in, you can still take pictures with the cactus when you go, the cactus in this garden is very different from what I usually see, it will bloom again🥹 I was accidentally pricked by it, but it didn't hurt Many local or road trip tourists will come to camp, this place is really quite suitable for camping, it also has some barbecue facilities like Hong Kong country parks, but compared to other national parks, it is no restaurants or accommodation, do not think it is commercial, really a desert area 🏜️ very special
