  On a relatively small area, however, a thousand Cholla cacti grow, reaching stately heights. There are also some smaller varieties. By mid-April, the flowering had already begun, but was not yet fully developed. The very best time is probably at the end of April, but please bear in mind that temperatures are also rising. A simple circular path, without climbs, but also not paved, leads through the garden. Duration below or about an hour. One is admonished to stay on the way, and rightly so. The spines are fine, and have rehook. Those who still have contact with the prickly journeymen will find a first aid set at the beginning of the circular path to lick their wounds. For cactus lovers, and at the right time of year must.

  Awesome place to come across inside Joshua tree national park. The cactus plants are stunning set against a background of brown hills and blue sky, an experience worth savouring.
