The strange rocks are the main characters, the weird trees are just embellishments, and the Joshua Tree National Park is covered in heavy snow.

(October 1st) After driving east from Los Angeles for three to four hours, you will arrive. The presence of this park has always been low. The films shot here not only lack fame, but also have ordinary scenes, unlike the other national parks nearby that can impress you at first sight. I made a strategy in advance and saw various travel bloggers complaining that the park's landscape is too monotonous, just the so-called "Joshua Tree" between trees and cacti. Missionaries named it because the trunk looks like a person praying with open arms to the sky. I set off early from Arizona and entered the park through the south gate (California tourists usually enter through the northwest gate). According to the weather forecast, it might snow, so I consulted the staff at the visitor center. Snow on the mountain is no joke, and tragedies of being trapped in the mountains and freezing or starving to death are not uncommon. The staff said that as long as I don't deviate from the main road, there is no danger, and snowplows pass by every hour. Park roads that cannot guarantee safety may be closed at any time. (Winter visitors must be sure to read the signs at every fork in the road. If the park doesn't allow you to enter, they usually can't save you either.) After entering the mountain, I saw perhaps the most beautiful snow scene of my life. I feel that this park has inverted its priorities from naming to positioning. The most spectacular scenery on the mountain is not the trees, but the various strange rocks, as if they were enlarged bonsai. The trees only serve as decoration. Joshua Tree National Park is especially suitable for camping and stargazing in the summer. However, the strange rocks and trees in the snow resemble the artistic conception in ancient Chinese paintings, fully displaying the art of blank space.
