Check the Joshua Tree Weather forecast on this page. We highly recommend layers to protect or embrace the warm California sun. Temperatures feel vastly different from shade vs being in the direct sun. The desert is typically windy in the evenings, so pack a windbreaker or toasty warm jacket (year round).

You’ll want flip-flops, a swimsuit, sturdy hiking shoes, a cute country outfit for bars or impromptu photo shoots and to carry water and charged phone with you at all times.
