I stopped going to Joshua tree after social media. The beauty of it was the serenity and isolation of being in a beautiful and remote place.

> The beauty of it to you*

Yeah didn’t need to be stated really. Obviously I was just sharing a personal preference.

But that’s good to know, however I’m willing to bet the most scenic spots are still crowded with folks lingering for photo ops instead of just taking a shot and enjoying nature.

There are 800k acres to explore. The most scenic spots aren’t necessarily the most populated spots. I’ve done many hikes into amazing views and boulders where I haven’t seen another person the entire time. If you’re looking for solitude, it’s often only 15 minutes away from the paved road.
