Joshua Tree National Park, established in 1994 where the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts meet in southern California, takes its name from the otherworldly Joshua trees — twisted, spiky yuccas that early Mormon settlers believed resembled the biblical Joshua raising his arms in prayer. Massive granite monoliths, sculpted by millions of years of erosion into rounded domes and balanced boulders, draw rock climbers from around the world. At night, far from city lights, the park’s skies fill with stars of breathtaking clarity, and in spring, desert wildflowers transform the sandy washes into rivers of gold, purple, and white.

U.S. national parks are frequently referred to as America’s Best Idea. Other common nicknames highlighting their value include National Treasures, Jewels in the Crown and collectively as the Natural Heritage or Crown Jewels of the nation.

All "parks" are not the same, with over 25 different designations beyond just "National Park". These include National Monuments, Historic Sites, National Recreation Areas, National Lakeshores/Seashores, and National Preserves, focusing on natural preservation, historical preservation, and recreational water access. The titles included in our U.S. National ParkStamps™ Collection cover all of these designations.
