Planning a spring visit to Joshua Tree? For quicker access, consider using the North Entrance in Twentynine Palms or the South Entrance off Interstate 10. The West Entrance in the town of Joshua Tree tends to be the busiest. To streamline your entry, purchase your pass in advance at Recreation.gov. and to avoid the crowds, aim to arrive before 8 am on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. For additional information on trip planning, FAQs, trails, and more, visit nps.gov/jotr. Video by: NPS/ Paul Mart

The fall is when tarantulas are out and about looking for mates. As we all know, looking for a mate can be hard, so give them space, respect and wish them luck on their mission!
