Sightseeing
I definitely recommend going into the park! You will see some beautiful desert land with huge boulders, mountains, unique plants and cacti, and incredible sunsets and starry skies. You'll need a vehicle to get around (it's huge).

About 20 minutes from Joshua Tree, Pioneertown was built in the 40s as a western-themed movie set and is a great place to explore and get some good food. For food/drinks, check out The Red Dog Saloon and Pappy and Harriet's.
