My son, Curtis, and I visited JT in 2003. It was in the summer and extremely hot, so we limited our hiking and biking to shorter trails. I'd sure love to spend time there during cooler days, but I don't know when we'll get back: There are so many great U.S. national parks still left for us to visit (34 of 58 done)! --mark d.
JT is one of my favorite places. I've been going two or three times a year for the past 5 or 6 years, usually in the spring. I've really enjoyed going to the same areas and seeing how the plants are affected by the rain or lack of rain.
"Joshua Tree on Foot" is a good guide book if you want to hike there.
I can't believe you've been to that many nation parks; I think I've only been to 5 or 6. :-)
