Cosmic American’s Top Joshua Tree Trails for Families
While there are many ways to enjoy Joshua Tree National Park and the surrounding area, our friends Geneva and Andy prefer to explore as a family. They’re a stylish and multi-talented bohemian bunch who live full-time in Joshua Tree, and have the sweetest daughter named Prairie who adores being outside. You may also recognize them as the ones behind the beautiful Instagram account, and Cosmic American blog. They’re always taking advantage of the beautiful landscape around us, and have been kind enough to share their favorite trails to explore as a family.

A day in Joshua Tree

Touring Andrea Zittel’s A-Z West
Walking through Andrea Zittel’s property, I felt inspired to think about everything around me in a new way again. How an object is used, how things decay (and how that process can be beautiful), as well as how design informs how we navigate through each day. What we surround ourselves with can alter the space […]
Cactus Heaven
Since we started an Instagram account for the Joshua Tree House, we’ve discovered so many other desert lovers. One account that I have fallen especially in love with is Wilder Cailfornia. Jane travels the state of California and captures the most beautiful lighting in natural landscapes. I might be biased, because I love cacti and all… […]
Explore: Joshua Tree
Our visit in Joshua Tree made us feel like it was a place we could live someday. Although small, it’s filled with vintage shops, and cafes. We booked an airbnb last minute (as we’ve done everything on this trip) and it turned out to be better than we could’ve imagined. The space was so comfortable […]
