Joshua Tree National Park is magical. The park is named after the unusual trees found in abundance there; they&#8217;re actually lilies. Imagine them blooming; they do that soon. The rock formations are organically suggestive. It&#8217;s a landscape that looks like it was drawn by Dr Seuss.<br \/>\nThere are a number of great locations to photograph in the park. Here&#8217;s a ranking of many of the locations to photograph there (moving north to south).
