Pinto Basin Road
Driving south on Pinto Basin Road, before reaching the Cholla Garden, a turnout is dedicated to Minerva Hamilton Hoyt. An interpretive sign explains her role in making Joshua Tree National Park happen. Two typical cactuses found in the area: Pencil cholla, top, and regular cholla, above. Joshua Tree National Park now covers 792,510 acres with 80+% wilderness.
