Joshua Tree Snapshots

Joshua Tree | The Luxi Look
I visited Joshua Tree with my family over Christmas and all I can say is WOW.

It was a bit colder than we were expecting, so we didn’t get to fully enjoy the park the way we wanted to (it snowed on Christmas Eve!). The park is absolutely stunning – the rock formations, plants, and trails are awe inspiring and the sunsets are absolutely breathtaking. Not to mention the little town of Joshua Tree is so quaint and filled with little gems. It is truly worth visiting if you live in or are visiting Southern California.

The desert is my favorite getaway, so I will definitely be going back soon and doing a more extensive trip recap (seriously everything is so unbelievably photographic and beautiful). In the meantime, here are a couple photos from my short trip to Joshua Tree National Park and the surrounding area.

    I have been hearing so much about the Joshua Tree that I’m wanting to go now! Did you see any lizards? I am terrified of them and can’t go anywhere with lizards. Ha! Hope you had an amazing time!

      Haha! You just made my day babe. I didn’t see any lizards – I think they were too cold!! It snowed when we were in Joshua Tree. Can you believe it – snow in the desert!! But I’m sure they are there – you should definitely still go, the views are gorgeous! And you won’t see any lizards if you stay in the car ; ) xx

  13. I have seen so many photos of Joshua Tree and while it is semi close, I still haven’t been! I loved seeing your photos across Instagram and these are gorgeous as well. Such a beautiful and open field of dreams and nature there. This green faux fur coat is to die for and I have been swooning over it since I saw it. One day I will make it out there! xoxo, Christine

  22. […] places to stay? I’m always looking for new things to do and see – I still haven’t been to Joshua Tree, which is next on my list. Be sure to make time for yourself. Sometimes a weekend getaway is […]

  23. […] Technically less than an hour from Palm Springs, but I typically visit the two separately. While Palm Springs is wonderful for food and laying by a pool, Joshua Tree feels more spiritual and down to earth. Not to mention, it’s just incredibly beautiful. […]
