There are other great places not far from Joshua Tree such as the Palm Springs Areal Tramway about an hour from Joshua Tree.  

Joshua Tree California is a beautiful place to live.  I have lived here since 2006, and have seen some beautiful seasons here.  It does snow on occasion, I was lucky enough to be here this year when it did.
