Top Events happening in Joshua Tree In March:
Wildflower Bloom
Spring brings a burst of color to Joshua Tree as wildflowers bloom across the desert. Bright yellows, purples, pinks, and whites cover the landscape, creating a beautiful sight for visitors. The flowers usually bloom between late February and April, but they only last for a few weeks, depending on the weather. Some of the best places to see them are Cottonwood Spring, Barker Dam, and along Pinto Basin Road. Look out for desert dandelions, Mojave asters, and Canterbury bells! Since the bloom is short, be sure to plan your trip at the right time to enjoy this amazing natural display.

Go Hiking in Joshua Tree National Park
If you’ve ever visited Joshua Tree National Park, you know just how massive and wild it truly is. With over 1,200 square miles of terrain, the park offers endless hiking trails explore. Whether you’re hiking through Hidden Valley, climbing the famous boulders of Jumbo Rocks, or wandering the remote backcountry, there’s always something new to discover. However, the desert can be unforgiving—temperatures can rise quickly, and the dry air can dehydrate you faster than expected. Always bring plenty of water, wear sun protection, and be prepared for changing conditions to ensure a safe and enjoyable adventure.
The Integratron
The Integratron is a one-of-a-kind, dome-shaped structure located in Landers, California, just outside Joshua Tree. Built by ufologist and alleged alien contactee George Van Tassel in the 1950s, the structure was designed as a machine for time travel, rejuvenation, and energy amplification—based on a mix of Nikola Tesla’s theories and telepathic messages Van Tassel claimed to have received from extraterrestrials.
Today, the Integratron is famous for its sound bath experiences, where visitors can lie down inside the acoustically perfect dome and be immersed in the soothing vibrations of crystal singing bowls. The experience is deeply relaxing, helping to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and promote overall well-being.
Sound baths are extremely popular and tend to sell out quickly, so it’s essential to book your reservation in advance.
