Highway S2 enters the park from the south off of Interstate 8. This is the place to escape to and wonder what it all means. The Joshua Tree National Monument is the unique result of two great deserts, the low Colorado and the high Mojave, coming together to create a geological and floral fantasy land that is unsurpassed. When they named this 1,200-acre interpretive center the Living Desert they weren't kidding. Mountain lions, wolves, javelina, bobcats, golden eagles and much more abound here in a natural setting nestled at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains reminding one that the early Indians and pioneers were never alone.
