Andy's Joshua Tree Guidebook
Art
In 1989, Purifoy moved to a friend's trailer in the Mojave Desert, and over the last fifteen years of his life built what is now the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Sculpture Museum. Located on 10 acres of open land near Joshua Tree, the museum contains over one hundred works of art, including large scale assemblages, environmental sculptures, and installation art created by the artist between 1989–2004. While giving the appearance of a salvage yard with tires, bathroom fixtures, TVs, ragged clothes, toys and vacuum cleaners, each piece has a story to tell!

The main reason most people come here! The park is huge & vast so pack appropriate supplies. There are hundreds of hikes so I would recommend downloading the AllTrails app onto your phone so that you can find the right hike for your skill set. Alternatively, you can also visit the Joshua Tree visitor center and speak to someone in person who can help direct you around the park
