- Love for Joshua Tree endangers the local life-both people and ecosystems. The allure of the high desert has drawn generations to the region, from socialites of the early 20th century to social media users today. Amid a boom of tourism and short-term rentals, conservationists and locals hope this love for Joshua Tree can be practiced more sustainably for everyone-and everything-that calls it home.

This trashing is happening across America, not just in national parks. We need to hold people accountable, get out, and take action!
This video is such a wonderful template for how all people should be more mindful and understanding. Since Air B&Bs, tourism, ecology, locals and nature is all interconnected ... one planet and all life! Thank you ... 🖖
Really good…. Thanks for sharing!
I been to JT a dozen times.
My buddy and his wife once took me there rock climbing for my first time climbing.
He worked his way through college teaching rock climbing in a gym.
It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
He was very talented climber. His wife was on the cover of a French climbing magazine.
They'd even climbed El Capitan a few times.
Another time I went with a girlfriend and friends at night.
We brought tents to stay the night and take in the super full moon.
It was very bright, but got a little nippy.
There's no place like JT.
Another time, at a coffee shop outside the park, I met a dude who lived there.
He was reading Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov for the second time.
He said that was his favorite book.
Interesting people live in the area. Thoughtful people.
GUILTY
A microcosm of planet Earth 🌎
I grew up reading Desert magazine and visiting Joshua Tree National MONUMENT (before it became a national park). ❤
This story should be revisited in a couple years. The short term rental bubble looks to be deflating. There are hundreds of them for sale near JT. Perhaps things will work themselves out.
I hope so. I miss the old JT, the park and the town.
I live in the high desert, Hesperia. It's the people who are living here as well, let alone a SERIOUS lack of policing & an epidemic of homelessness.
Love JT and would love to make it a home but it's too expensive.
U2 was there in 1987 and nobody cared about Joshua Tree back then. LOL!
Hillary’s wearing some nice turquoise 🥶

I would argue that Laura Crane's claim that houses are being built so therefore housing is not the issue is misleading. When people say "housing" they mean affordable housing. Ideally with an efficient use of space.
I spent a wonderful weekend there at a regional Rainbow Gathering during the LA riots in 1992.
Apple's Vision Pro exacerbated the interested in Joshua Tree due to one of the spatial environments (wall papers) used throughout the marketing and RUclips reviews. I didn't even know about the place until I saw that.
This played like an advertorial for the featured JT businesses, and it didn't bother to drill down to address those most seriously impacted here: locals, many born here, who have lost their homes.
Didn't it focus on several locals who are struggling to survive the new economy? Tiffany at the Crossroads Cafe among others?
First off, Joshua Trees are in the lily family and are not actually trees. More importantly, how can you decry the influx of tourists and then ask them to give you better tips?
I've been visiting JT for years and there has been a dramatic increase in short-term rentals, but there have been no increase in hotels for visitors to stay. Camping is extremely limited within the park -- where do you suggest visitors stay? If you are super upset, legislate change. My city banned short term rentals this year. Other cities are doing the same.
Taxpayer money pays for our national parks and people should have access to the parks. I'd rather they discuss the fact the millions of low income, inner city folk can't afford to visit Joshua Tree and see it's wonders!
This is all part of the bigger picture. Thank wall street and our government for homelessness the Airbnb problems across America. This trashing is happening Across America and not just national parks. Trash is everywhere in the cities and country. We used to fine people for dumping trash. I have never seen such a disorganized mess to recycle. There needs to be land to allow people to dig through items that can be upcycled. I'm in the Morongo basin, just outside of Joshua tree national park. It cost 12 dollars to take one queen box spring to the dump. Thats the light one. It could be upcycled. It explains why you see huge sofa sectionals, trash, refrigerators tires, lumber, chemicals. Cars, wood and drugs laying around in the beautiful Desert along with the mountains and beaches.
I was tossed out of Idyllwild CA after 40 years, 2 years ago by crooked realtors and his crooked investors. Like yesterday's trash. 8 million homeless people have walked across the borders needing homes while a million Americans were bring made homeless. It's not rocket science. The last 3 years the rent was doubled. After I was tossed out to the street after the largest corrupt realtor in town through me and at least one hundred other locals to the street during the pandemic and not for lack of not paying. The long-term rentals were going to the highest payor even if you had a lease. They would lie and say your house is for sale when it wasn't. Throw you out and put in renters that would pay more. The realtor was cutting huge old trees all over town turning them into firewood. He has cut down some many beautiful old mature oak trees, while the county turns their heads. I witnessed them ask him if he cut any down on the property across the street, He said no. And that was that. In all he cut down 3 oaks and clear cut a very wet lot that has been covered up with soil for decades. It was a large watering hole for so much wildlife for 1000's of years. The area is marked a borrow site. The property was actually where many waterways came together. It was all cut out 70, 80 years prior I'm guessing. The water still runs through there underground and on top when raining. Even though they try to keep all the willows cut down you can't stop them from coming back. Before this spring was covered up and half hazardly diverted. The water from the springs, was now being sent to deer springs. The natural springs use to be everywhere throughout town. Now the springs in Idyllwild are ran down to different creeks, the roadways and hillsides causing major destruction and allowing builders to build over hidden wet areas saying they are dry. These wet areas still get flooded during monsoons. bypassing all diversions finding the canyons it has ran down for thousands of years. wiping everything out in its path.
The fire department and water district building were built right on top of the springs covered up. They are the turning point and highpoint for the spring that would drain into lily creek, now to be dumped into deer springs creek. Using roadways and unground drain network through state park and county transportation yard to a drain at the northeast property at maranatha street draining towards deer springs. Because of this huge water diversion. Lily creek is being dried up on purpose. Why because the properties. Worth. Millions dried up. Same realtor owns all lots mentioned above. The county takes his money and turns their back on the other residence and wildlife. The prior LA realtor now owns 90% of all long-term rentals now in Idyllwild. Displacing the locals from the town with prices out of site. The town is a three-ring circus catering to the tourists. Locals can pound sand. It's horrific and happening across America.
unfortunately, the tiktok comment has aged lol I think I am one of the few people that was able to use tiktok productively and educationally
i think maybe cuz i dont watch instagram
much i dont care for going to take pics. and i dont care about desert places. you wont find me there!
I feel like this is manufacturing consent for social media. It is not a good thing, social media is ego driven. Not the same as before. Yes you can stop this horrible direction of society. We have done it before. Don’t call people who are from the 19th century “influencers”
