What makes a good sunset in Joshua Tree National Park?

Joshua Tree sits at the meeting point of the Mojave and Sonoran deserts, and the combination of twisted Joshua trees, massive granite boulder piles, and wide open desert sky makes for one of the most distinctive sunset landscapes in the American West. Keys View faces southwest toward the Coachella Valley and the Salton Sea — on clear evenings you can see the San Jacinto Mountains catching alpenglow across the valley. Skull Rock and the Cholla Cactus Garden provide close foreground interest. Winter and spring are the best seasons: wildflower blooms in March and April can be exceptional, and the low sun angle in winter produces warm light that rakes across the boulders.
