We’ve embedded the Joshua Tree Weather forecast on this page.

Need a packing guide? We highly recommend layers as the California sun is warm year round. Temperatures feel vastly different in the shade than being in the direct sun. The desert is usually windy in the evenings, so pack a windbreaker or a warm jacket year round. Other essentials include flip-flops, indoor slippers, a swimsuit + cover up, a warm sweater, hiking shoes, a cute outfit for bars or to capture the magic of golden hour (sunrise or sunset) with an impromptu photo shoot.

Carry water and a charged phone with you at all times while hiking.
