Spooky is what we do… even down to our establishment! 👻 Today isn’t just Halloween…it’s also Joshua Tree National Park’s birthday! 🎂 On October 31, 1994, the California Desert Protection Act was signed into law, officially designating Joshua Tree as a national park. Today, the park protects nearly 800,000 acres of public lands, providing a home to some of the desert’s coolest, creepiest, and downright spookiest critters. 🦂🦇🕷️ So this Halloween, we’re celebrating all things wild, weird, and wonderfully spooky, because around here, nature does spooky pretty well! 🎃 Photos by NPS 31 Oct 2026

🎶 Who is that tree I see… staring straight back at me… 🎶 Reflection looks a little spiky today. Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) may be desert dwellers, but that doesn’t mean they can live without water. These plants are remarkably adapted to dry conditions and can survive with far less water than most of us would find comfortable. Still, where that water falls helps explain where Joshua trees call home. Joshua Tree National Park sits at the meeting place of two deserts: the Mojave and the Colorado. Joshua trees are characteristic of the higher, cooler Mojave Desert, where conditions generally provide more moisture than the hotter, lower-elevation Colorado Desert. And when rain does arrive? Every drop counts. Water supports growth and reproduction, and adequate moisture is particularly important for young Joshua trees trying to establish themselves. Those little trees have a long way to go before becoming the branching silhouettes that define the Mojave landscape. So while this Joshua tree may only be admiring its reflection in a temporary pool, that water represents something pretty important in the desert. 💧 It may not take much, but life in the Mojave still depends on water.

“Look it! Look it! It’s freaking bats!” 🦇🦇🦇 We love bats. And here at Joshua Tree National Park, there are plenty to love! Sixteen species of bats have been documented in the park, each finding its own way to make a home in the desert. Depending on the species, bats may roost in abandoned mines, cliffs, rock formations, trees, and palm oases. When the sun goes down, many emerge from their daytime hideaways and take to the desert skies in search of their next meal. And that’s good news for all of us. 🦟➡️🦇 Bats are an important part of the desert ecosystem. Many of Joshua Tree’s bats are insect eaters, consuming moths, beetles, mosquitoes, and other insects throughout the night. By keeping insect populations in check, bats help maintain balance in the desert food web and provide a little natural pest control for those of us enjoying an evening under the stars. So, the next time you notice something fluttering overhead around sunset, look up! You might be watching one of Joshua Tree’s nighttime residents clock in for the evening shift. If you ever see a bat up close or on the ground, give it plenty of space. Bats should never be touched. Handling wildlife can put both you and the animal at risk, and bats can carry diseases like rabies. Admire them from a distance and let them keep doing their important nighttime work!

If you’re visiting the park on October, you might have a chance of seeing one of our Mojave desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii)! October can bring increased activity for them, including mating activity. And they aren't always easy to spot! Mojave desert tortoises come in a variety of sizes. Adults can grow to around a foot long, while younger tortoises can be much smaller. Their brown and tan shells also blend remarkably well with the rocks, gravel, and soil of the desert landscape. When driving through the park: • Slow down and stay alert. • Scan the road ahead, especially in areas where wildlife may be crossing. • Never intentionally drive toward or over a tortoise, even if you think your vehicle will clear it. • Give tortoises plenty of space and observe wildlife from a distance. If you encounter a tortoise in or near a roadway, remember that these wild desert residents are protected. Do not pick up, touch, or move a tortoise unless specifically directed by park staff. A few extra seconds of attention behind the wheel can make a big difference for an animal that may have been roaming these deserts for decades. 🐢🌵 Drive slowly. Stay alert. Give tortoises a brake!

Desert season is almost here and soon will be the crowds! As October approaches and temperatures cool, Joshua Tree National Park gets busy. Weekends, holidays, and other popular days can bring long entrance lines, full parking areas, and congestion at some of the park’s most popular destinations. Planning a visit? A little preparation can go a long way: 🚗 Expect crowds and traffic. Entrance stations and popular areas may have long waits during peak periods. Give yourself extra time and pack some patience. ⏰ Timing matters. Consider visiting on a weekday or arriving outside the busiest hours when possible. 🅿️ If a parking lot is full, keep moving. Never park on vegetation or block traffic. Have a backup destination in mind and explore another part of the park. 💧 Come prepared. Bring plenty of water, food, sun protection, appropriate clothing, and everything you’ll need for your visit. Cell service is limited or nonexistent in much of the park. 🗺️ Know before you go. Download maps and plan your route before entering the park. Check current conditions, alerts, and other important information at nps.gov/jotr. 🌵 Help protect Joshua Tree. Stay on established roads and trails, leave plants and other natural objects where you find them, pack out your trash, and give wildlife plenty of space. Busy days are easier for everyone when we plan ahead, stay flexible, and take care of this special desert landscape. See you out there! 🌞 Photo by NPS / Samantha Laarman Photo by NPS / Robert Zuniga 22 Sep 2026

These seeds will be grown to support future restoration and preservation efforts throughout the park. Two opportunities are available: 🌱 Tuesday, October 6 ⏰ 1–4 p.m. 📋 Apply by September 26 🌱 Tuesday, October 20 ⏰ 1–4 p.m. 📋 Apply by October 10 No seed-cleaning experience? No problem!
