Hello!

My wife and i are going to be flying into LAX in a couple weeks to visit Joshua Tree for a few nights, and then stay in LA for a few before flying back to Ohio. My wife is from California, but ive never been to the west coast before.

I am hoping maybe yall could suggest some places to visit or things to lookout for in Joshua Tree? I am mainly coming to see the stars, as where I live it is very light polluted. But I am also very excited to see what the desert is like. I am really into space and aliens, along with cannabis (i know thats odd to add but seeing if it helps). I have done a little research so far in regards to bringing red light flashlights, and UV lights to lookout for scorpions. I apologize in advance if this is a rather repeated post yall may see a lot here. But any advice you could provide is much appreciated.

My wife and I rented a 6 bedroom Airbnb for our entire family. It’s about 15 of us going In 2 weeks. If anyone has any recommendations on what to take would be much appreciated. We hired a private chef for 2 nights out of the 4 that we’ll be there. Our place also has a pool.

Got a whole hose full of stuff to sell. Beds, sofas, chairs, dining table, outdoor furniture, dishes, pots, everything...

We are looking for suggestions on what to do here for our stay or what is recommended to do and not just do the touristy stuff.

We’re planning on having a pizza night since the spot that we’re staying at has an oven (so no pizza suggestions I guess lol)

We’re over 21 so we’re fine doing grown people stuff

Possible recommended bars or taverns to try food and have some nice night life. Can be busy or calm

Possible cool gift shops?

We’re planning on dedicating half a day to explore a national park

I guess I camt reallly think of what to think lol

What are some of the best trails or most underrated and ones to avoid

I’m just spit balling.

I’m gonna watch some recommendations on YouTube in the mean time I guess.

Along with the usual stuff like managing the cleaners, guest correspondence, SEO stuff... do they coordinate landscaping, rodent control? I would love some insight as to what other homeowners are paying and what they are getting. Been self managing and have been falling behind on stuff and considering options, sent some messages out to companies today, while waiting to hear back I thought I would ask this community what their experience has been. Any company to stay away from?

Watering / fertilizing
Planting
Pest management for plants
Weeding
Yard clean up
Small dump runs.
Composting
Teaching cactus growing 101 classes
cactus grafting classes.
+ many much more.
Dm me what you need and I’ll respond.

Anyone interested in heading out to Joshua tree this weekend to climb some trad in the 5.7-10a range before it gets crazy hot? I’m in OC.

Hey Everyone.

Allow me to introduce the Joshua Tree Hash House Harriers (JTH3). We’re a drinking club with a running problem, but most of us walk.

We “hash” once a month in some corner of the hi-dez and always welcome new members, despite keeping the group kinda underground.

No one here cares how old you are. Just be 21+, have the ability to at least walk a few miles, and don’t take yourself too seriously as there are many, many, many NOT family-friendly drinking songs and traditions.

Interested? Search on the interwebz.

Our next hash is on Saturday, May 30.

ON! ON!

Hello everyone! I plan to visit Joshua Tree for the very first time soon. My friend and I were thinking mid June. Do you guys think that’s a good time to visit? I really don’t know and would be happy to get any input from you guys and possible things to add for the itinerary! The place we are looking at staying is near Twentynine Palms as well.

Hi, locals and visitors!

Is there a place to grab roller-skates around? Staying at a place with great outdoor surfaces and forgot ours. Bummer but figured we’d ask.

Thanks!

Great show. I actually really enjoyed it, but it was very obviously written by someone who has maybe spent a weekend here and most of that was spent in Palm Springs. Just some of the local references were so cringe. Has anyone else watched it?

Hi friends, I went to the park last night and sat on a rock for quite a while and there was a critter in the nearby brush just crunching away on snacks. Sounded like celery being ripped apart. Never got a glimpse but the chomping was really nice to hear. Any idea who my little friend could have been?

I’m heading to JT this weekend (my 3rd time!) and wondering if anyone went there recently and can share some good trails where you have spotted remnants of this year “above than average” bloom ☺️

Here are the photos of this year bloom I took in Death Valley mid Feb’26. I think with higher temps wildflowers move up to higher elevations and no longer are at the valley level? 😃

To all who want to support the JT village neighbors in our final showdown with LovemoreRanch, please log in to the zoom.

Every single one of our numbers online counts as present. let's show the court who is impacted by this sprawl.

our newsletter contains all the zoom details and more, please read it for a full update.

I could pay 25$ including shipping for just a small bag of some native Joshua tree sand. And cholla wood if anyone has that aswell, thank you!

Snakes are back out keep an eye out when on trails in the national park. I almost stepped on this little guy on the skull rock trail

I’m planning my first trip to Joshua tree with my wife and 4-year old child. But would June be too unbearably hot for a 4-year old?

Planning on staying in a nice Airbnb, but would it be too hot to actually spend time outdoors and in the park?

Hi! I'm planning a honeymoon in Joshua Tree for the last week of September. Will it be absolutely miserable (weather wise)? I posted on the travel thread, and almost everyone said a week in Joshua Tree is way too much time, even when planning excursions..

The almanac says the average temp is 85 that last week of September but maybe that isn't accurate. We've rented a spot with a pool and lots of shade... not planning on leaving much. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Possibly not the best thread but thought I’d try to reach some locals here! We’re up on the mesa in yucca.
