As common sense goes, it’s well known that the Mojave becomes notably warmer during the summer. But I know for a fact that throughout Spring and Fall the weather is utterly pleasant. Between March and May, the cacti flowers bloom in a mighty splendor. The trademark Joshua Trees are beginning to bear fruits and the colorful desert vegetation becomes even more vivid. Given all these facts, Spring is the busiest time of the year in the park, as it is only reasonable.

During Summer the days are considerably hot, but the nights are significantly cold around sunset and after dark, due to the dryness of the desert.

The fall is great for photo shoots because as the temperatures go a bit down, the tourists become less attracted to visiting, so there’s more availability to the natural beauties of the park.

The winter is also very nice, albeit the nights may be a bit chilly, the dry sunny days are very appeasing. It’s also the best time of the year for group visitation and the most dates available for their high-demand campsites. It’s rare, but you might even catch one of the snowy days In the desert. This fact alone is worth trying your luck!

Mondays-Thursdays are the best weekdays for both weddings and elopements, to avoid the traffic boom from San Diego and LA.
