As an avid National Park experiencer - there is a lot to experience here…read more I always love a good tree and the Joshua tree looks so cool. Especially with the sun behind it. The rock formations feel like great secrets. The staff here are extra helpful. Tell em what you want and they can point you in the right direction. Get your national Park passport and get to more parks and take me with you. Try to eat more pizza if you want to be like me.

We arrived at Joshua Tree National Park on a Friday around 12 PM. There was a line of about 20 cars…read moreat the entrance, but it moved quickly. We waited less than five minutes. They offer discounts for military members, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. You can also purchase an annual pass. If you're driving in, it's $30 per vehicle and the pass is valid for seven days. First stop, Hidden Valley Nature Trail: about a 10-minute drive from the entrance, and one of the most popular spots in the park. The loop is about one mile and takes you through incredible rock formations. There's a bit of climbing involved so definitely wear proper shoes. It took us around 30 minutes, but some people took closer to an hour, likely stopping for photos and to soak it all in. You'll also see rock climbers, which is fun to watch. * Cap Rock: an easy stop right off the road. You can drive by or pull over briefly to see this unique rock formation that looks like a hat perched on top of a boulder. * Skull Rock: another must-see right along the main road with no hiking required. It's exactly what it sounds like and a popular photo spot. * Keys View: a stunning panoramic viewpoint. From here you can see the Coachella Valley, the San Andreas Fault, the Salton Sea, and on a clear day, even parts of Mexico. It's especially beautiful around sunset. You can either exit the park the way you came or continue through to one of the other exits depending on your next stop.

At 7:45 the office was closed, and was talking to my friend waiting to check-in. Minutes later a guy asked "can I help you?" in a way devoid of any desire to help. I said we talked earlier. He said the office was closed. I was perplexed. He said he was tired saying, "you can leave now," basically was kicking me out. I walked to the truck with my friend as he hovered. I questioned him further. He yelled and cursed at me. I started filming him. He then says I made somebody feel uncomfortable, which seemed like a lie. I'm told they banned me.

She was so easy to communicate with, she completely got what I was wanting, and the party turned out better than I could have imagined (and my expectations were pretty high) My daughter basically didn't stop making potions the whole time. All the kids loved it with ages ranging from 2 to 10. And it went above and beyond my own wildest fairy world, enchanted garden dreams. I have a strong aesthetic and I'm quite picky. Janet set up the most beautiful area, with such amazing attention to detail. Again, words could never do her justice. She will be the best birthday party decision you've ever made. I can't wait to work with her again.
