Doctor Malaver posted:Thanks hepscat (I'm coming tomorrow) and Leperflesh! I recommend Joshua Tree. When I went in Jan 2012, during the day the Mojave side of the park was in the 60s, the Colorado side in the 70s (The park spans the Mojave and Colorado deserts. Mojave is in the northern part and is higher in elevation than the lower, more southern Colorado portion. The Mojave part has all the joshua trees in it). Some cool places are the Lost Horse Mine (old gold mine operation), Ryan Mountain, the Fortynine Palms Oasis (desert oasis with native palm trees), and Keys lookout (you can look over the entire Coachella valley from here, from the Salton Sea to the mountain pass back to LA. Go at sunset).

appropriatemetaphor posted:Joshua tree also gets crazy cold at night. When I went I couldn't leave my tent at night because I was afraid I'd just freeze or never be warm again. The projected lows right now is ~50, not too bad. But if he doesn't want to camp, he can stay in one of the zillion hotels right outside the park in Twentynine Palms or Joshua Tree (the town, not the park), or in Desert Hot Springs or Palm Springs in the Coachella Valley (these last two are a bit farther from the park entrance, but nicer hotels)
