The Night Sky in Joshua Tree National Park and the Morongo Basin is AMAZING!
With an average of 320 days clear skies and some of the darkest nights in Southern California - it's one of the best places to stargaze.
Have you ever seen the milky way? You don't have to camp in JTNP to view this live IMAX movie of our universe. Just the view of the night sky from the hot tub at RockHouse is a magical experience.
If you what to be a little more adventurous there are a lot of locations you can park your car and stargaze.
My personal favorite is the intersection of Park Blvd & Geology Tour Road. A few others are Cap Rock and Echo T or any other pull out in the JTNP. Please mind the Day use only areas and do not enter after sunset.
JTNP is having a Night Sky Festival in November, this is their Stargazing Guide. There are also some other stargazing & meteorite watching spots in the the Morongo Basin such as Giant Rock and SunFair Dry Lake Bed.
This picture was taken on the hot tub patio at RockHouse with my smart phone and a few colored lights! Be creative today and and show the stars your individuality!
