For a first-time visitor the desert may appear bleak and drab. Viewed from the road, the desert only hints at its vitality. Closer examination
reveals a fascinating variety of plants and animals. A rich cultural
history and surreal geologic features add to the attraction of this place.
![Page 21: Joshua Tree: Naturalists at Large](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5562acb5d8b42a6e4f8b51c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Two deserts come together at Joshua Tree National Park. Below 3,000
feet, the Colorado
Desert encompasses the eastern part of the
park.

The higher, moister, and
slightly cooler
Mojave Desert is the
special habitat of the Joshua tree.

Equipment Reminders
Follow your equipment list.
Pack together. Adult and student can double check the contents of the gear bag.
All clothing should fit in a medium size duffle.
A day pack is essential to move about the program with water, some food, extra layers of clothing, and personal incidentals.
Utensil Kit that may be reused for each meal and a cup that can handle hot & cold liquids.
![Page 71: Joshua Tree: Naturalists at Large](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5562acb5d8b42a6e4f8b51c2/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Rain gear is a must. (water-proof shell) Rain Ponchos are fine.
Comfortable closed toed shoes are required. Light weight hikers or tennis shoes with a few pairs of good outdoor socks (non-cotton).
A good water bottle (quart or liter).
The proper sleeping bag (check your equipment list for specifics).
Ground pad. Ensolite pads are much cheaper than thermarest types and work just as well.
![Page 72: Joshua Tree: Naturalists at Large](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/5562acb5d8b42a6e4f8b51c2/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Plastic bag protection. A half dozen, 1 or 2 gallon storage ziplocks are good for protecting clothing in a gear bag from moisture. Along with a couple hefty 15 to 30 gallon bags to line your gear bag and sleeping bag (& daypack).
Don’t send gear that you could not afford lost or broken (expensive cameras, cell phones, and other electronics). A handy disposable camera would be just fine.
Follow your equipment list, ask questions, borrow from friends.
