Thank you to all of you who work to keep this park as unspoiled and beautiful as it is. My visit there changed my life -- in a wonderful way. I had been through a terrible ordeal of caretaking my husband through his four years of cancer treatment and my mind was awash with grief and sadness and I just couldn't think thoughts that pertained to things outside my own head. Joshua Tree enabled me to open my eyes and look outward, beyond myself, and remember the bond I had always felt with nature but seemed to have lost. There was a primeval atmosphere that humbled me. There were wildflowers blooming that moved me to tears. There was quiet and a sanctity in the landscape that was profoundly calming. We couldn't have these beautiful, awe-inspiring experiences if it wasn't for you, who work to care for our wild spaces. Thank you!
