Peek-a-boo view of City of Twentynine Palms from 49 Palms Oasis Trail. Joshua Tree NP, California, USA.

A peek-a-boo view of the City of Twentynine Palms from 49 Palms Oasis Trail. Joshua Tree National Park, California, USA. The park straddles the cactus-dotted Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert, which is higher and cooler. The California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera, in the palm family Arecaceae) is native to the far southwestern United States and Baja California. Today's oasis environment was protected from a drying climate, restricting this cold-tolerant palm to widely separated relict groves.
