Joshua Tree National Park

These photogenic trees are the main reason people come here to California's Joshua Tree National Park in the United States. Joshua Tree was declared a national monument in August 1936, before being designated a national park in 1994. Perhaps no other national park is so completely defined by a single feature, be it a plant or wildlife or natural formation. While Joshua Tree National Park contains other wonders, this tree that looks drawn by Dr. Seuss is what visitors come to celebrate.
