It is five miles north of the West Entrance on Park Boulevard close to where Park Boulevard and Highway 62 intersect. From the intersection, heading south on Park Boulevard, the visitor center is on the right. The gravel parking lot, just south of the visitor center, can comfortably fit 40 cars. There is a curved cinder block wall that divides the parking lot from the visitor center. From the parking lot, there is a cement sidewalk leading a short distance through a modest cactus garden and ends at a small cement courtyard in front of the visitor center on the east side of the building. In the garden stands a flagpole and a rusted metal sculpture. The exterior of the single-story visitor center has walls that resemble corrugated metal. From the courtyard, another short cement sidewalk leads through a large wooden gate into an outdoor patio between the cinder block wall and the south side of the building. The patio is enclosed on its south end by the previously mentioned cinder block wall. Inside the patio, the ground is dirt and slopes down from the cinder block wall towards the double glass doors that lead into the visitor center. Two tables are on the patio near the doors where rangers can help visitors with information. Once entering the building, there is a one-room exhibit area with panels depicting geology, ecology, and history of Joshua Tree National Park. There is a life-sized replica of a Joshua tree accompanied with panels about the Joshua tree. There is a guitar and a U2 record album on display that represents the creative aspects of Joshua Tree National Park. There is a television that plays a 2-minute video about the park’s geology. The exhibit opens into the one-room bookstore. On display are souvenirs—stickers, patches, t-shirts, hats, stuffed animals, mugs, postcards, and books. On the side of the bookstore closest to the exhibit is a counter with three cash registers. Opposite the counter, on the north side, are two doors that open directly into the men’s and women’s bathrooms. Exit through the bookstore's double glass doors back to the courtyard on the east side of the visitor center. The northernmost section of the building, with a single glass door that opens out into the courtyard, is a cafe.","emailAddress":"418ACFA9A2DAA1BA9B9B1DBFEA59ACA250","telephoneDescription":"","visitorCenterImage":"/common/uploads/structured_data/95CC9C0A-0124-AD02-FDEB49E98D34F0DA_thumb.jpg","telephoneNumberFax":"","mailing_address":{"line_3":"","city":"Joshua Tree","postal_code":"92252     ","line_2":"","line_1":"6554 Park Blvd.","state_code":"CA"},"name":"Joshua Tree Visitor Center","visitorCenterID":1214,"telephoneNumberTty":"","operatingHours":{"1":{"hours":[{"dayOfWeek":1,"time_close":"5:00 PM","time_open":"7:30 AM","sunrise_open":0,"sunset_close":0,"is_closed":0},{"dayOfWeek":2.0,"time_close":"5:00 PM","time_open":"7:30 AM","sunrise_open":0,"sunset_close":0,"is_closed":0},{"dayOfWeek":3.0,"time_close":"5:00 PM","time_open":"7:30 AM","sunrise_open":0,"sunset_close":0,"is_closed":0},{"dayOfWeek":4.0,"time_close":"5:00 PM","time_open":"7:30 AM","sunrise_open":0,"sunset_close":0,"is_closed":0},{"dayOfWeek":5.0,"time_close":"5:00 PM","time_open":"7:30 AM","sunrise_open":0,"sunset_close":0,"is_closed":0},{"dayOfWeek":6.0,"time_close":"5:00 PM","time_open":"7:30 AM","sunrise_open":0,"sunset_close":0,"is_closed":0},{"dayOfWeek":7.0,"time_close":"5:00 PM","time_open":"7:30 AM","sunrise_open":0,"sunset_close":0,"is_closed":0}],"description":"Open all year.","label":"","operatingScheduleID":1450,"type":"Visitor Center","name":"Joshua Tree Visitor Center"}},"description":"Located in downtown Joshua Tree just five miles from the West Entrance, the Joshua Tree Visitor Center offers educational exhibits, a bookstore, and visitor resources.

To the northeast, Eagle Mountain stands lofty as a rugged backdrop. Weather can be extreme. Summers are blistering, with bright sunny weather and temperatures exceeding 100 degrees daily. Winters are cool to cold, with strong winds and sub-freezing nights. Snow is possible. The occasional rainstorm poses the threat of flash flooding. There is abundant flora and fauna nearby. Desert wilderness surrounds the visitor center. <br />Around the building we find short desert plants. There are cacti and various flora with thorns and sharp points. Cat’s-claw acacia and many of the shrubs can be unforgiving if brushed up against. There are also plants native to the Mojave, such as yucca, juniper, and sage. In spring, red berries appear on the purple bush. Prince’s Plume are adorned with yellow flowers. The ironwood trees near the Bajada Nature Trail sprout pink and purple flowers. After a rain, the Ocotillo grow red flowers and green leaves. The Prince's Plume, ironwood trees, and Ocotillo are native to the Colorado desert.<br />Gambel’s Quail call out throughout the day, often scurrying around the parking lot. Mule deer, coyotes, and even bighorn sheep frequent the nearby landscape. Throughout the day ravens and turkey vultures soar overheard. Black-tailed jackrabbits nervously hop along, as a red-tail hawk eyes it’s next prey from the sky. In the warmer months, rattlesnakes and desert tortoise roam the nearby sandy trails.<br />There are three one-story buildings that comprise the visitor center facilities: The visitor center, a restroom, and a staff office. From the parking area, the visitor center is located to the left. The restroom is situated to the right of the visitor center and 30 feet across from the parking lot. The men’s restroom is located on the left side of this building, and the women’s restroom is located on the right side. There are picnic tables and bulletin boards between the restrooms and the office to the right.<br />The visitor center also serves as a gift shop and fee-entrance station. The door is located on the south side of the building. As you enter, there is a brochure table 6 feet from the inside of the door. On the right side of the building you will see interpretive panels with information about the geology, history, and geography of Joshua Tree National Park. On the walls on the south and east side of the building are panels with quotes about the park. This side also has displays with merchandise sold by the Joshua Tree National Park Association.<br />The front counter is 25 feet from the door where you can buy park passes and merchandise. A window on the west side of the building that has been modified to receive payments for entrance fees, directly to the left of the front counter. Plexiglass hangs around the front counter for the protection of staff and visitors. The building has standard lighting and when the blinds are up, the outside sun provides ample illumination.<br />To the right of the front counter there are more displays for merchandise. On the east wall, there is a window with a majestic view of Eagle Mountain, Mastodon Peak, and the surrounding desert. South of this window there is a bookcase with various publications on Joshua Tree National Park. In the center of the visitor center there is a life-sized mold of a desert tortoise enclosed in glass. On the west side, to the left of the brochure table, there is a window. Next to this window there is a fold-out sign that says “Encuentra Tu Parque” (“Find your Park” in Spanish). There are more store displays as you make your way closer to the front counter. <br />There is a small, slightly shaded courtyard in-between the visitor center and the offices. There are creosote bush and beavertail cactus in the middle. A small bench is located about 10 feet to the north of the offices. There is also a bulletin with park information, maps, and trail guides. All facilities are accessible through paved and level walkways. <br />Outside of the visitor center, there are sidewalks between the parking lot and the buildings. The parking lot has 2 handicapped spaces, with accessible ramps and paved paths to the visitor center, restroom, and office. The office is restricted to park staff and those with authorization to enter. To the right of this building is a flagpole and a sign showing air quality and fire danger. There is also a sign that displays fees to enter the park.<br />There is a short tenth of a mile dirt nature trail that is immediately east of the visitor center. The trail is a loop that starts a few feet from the paved path that leads to the main entrance. It ends on the east side of the parking lot. There are signs along the way identifying various plants and shrubs that can be found in the area. Park rangers here every day to answer questions and provide guidance into Joshua Tree National Park.
