    This was filmed in February, which was a perfect time to visit Joshua Tree! The weather was high 60s, sun was out, and the park wasn't too busy. If you're looking for a good late winter getaway next year, be sure to add this one to your list. Hope you all are staying well 💛

      Allison Anderson Thank you for your videos. I see you switched cameras from a fujifilm x-t2 to a sony aiii. I see people switching from a sonyaiii to a fujifilm x-t3. Could you explain why you seitched cameras? Im considering buying but Im currently undecided. Since you have experience with both cameras, what would you suggest?

    This felt so so wholesome. I’m 21 and from London and I would absolutely love to go travelling round the national parks in America. I used to go as a kid every year and would do the junior ranger programmes. Watching this video literally made my heart skip a bit because it brings back such amazing memories of my childhood. Can’t wait until I can go back and explore. ❤️

    I’m an astrophotographer and JT is my go-to for dark skies. I’ve spent many nights alone in the dark in remote locations - but if it makes you feel any better, the first time I tried to get Milky Way shots inside the park, I couldn’t concentrate because it was SO dark and the environment seemed so alien.
    Over the years I’ve figured out ways to get past this - shooting near campsites, near the observatory, or at least in parking lots - but JT is freaky at night and I don’t blame you for your reaction.
    One of the great things about JT is the abundance of secluded, well-outfitted but inexpensive short-term rentals - these days when I go I just set up in the yard of my rental and get great shots without feeling like I’m in a horror movie.😂

    you inspire me, as a female about to graduate college (with a major that doesn't really do it for me) I am feeling a little lost at the moment but visiting new places has always been on my mind, and I believe its exactly what I need! I'm in love with the desert and only been to Joshua Tree once and it was magical. I don't have a car at the moment but as soon as I get one I am travelling! Thank you for these beautiful videos

    So this video is the cure I needed to help keep the travel bug at bay! ❤️

    You shouldn't be afraid at night at Joshua Tree. It's an Oasis in the High Desert 🏜️ in SoCal ❤️. At night it's like this 👀. Fresh air and freedom from Seattle, Washington. For the price of airfare, I'd fly once a month to our Desert treasure of peace and quiet plus ❤. Beautiful video and photo shoot.

    I really enjoyed JT from the perspective of a visitor. My mom and her sister came to 29 Palms in 1938 for water color work. The stayed a few weeks every year, so the high desert was always known to me. I was born in San Francisco and later worked in LA, but hated city confinement. 15 years living outside Spokane made me dedicated to more open space. In 2006 I had a house built on the JT Natl Park boundary near Indian Cove. When completed I moved me, my horses and mule to JT. Every day here is different and beautiful. It never becomes routine to me, but I continue to love every day here.
