Can someone please tell me GPS or directions to the U2 Joshua Tree? What area of the park is it in? I understand that it's collapsed of natural causes but I'd still like to see it. thank you!! :)

Don't worry- there are about 10 million or so more Joshua trees currently standing in the California desert that are just as nice as the U2 Joshua tree.

This one isn't a Joshua Tree, it's a juniper. It is however in the park.

Ye ask and Ye shall receive. The tree is near Darwin, but as others said, it is dead. I drove by there a bunch of times. I wish I knew it was there before it fell.

Nice photo, Ed. That rock column reminds me of columns I photographed in Nambung Park in Western Australia years ago!.

Thanks Patrick. Wow, I ASSUMED that it was in JTNP! It's actually on my way from DV to Lone Pine so I should be able to park at the side of the road and have a quick look...

Those coordinates are for the actual tree location? Where did you find them?

The Bristlecone pines in Inyo National Forest are 5,000+ years old.

There is a plant in Arizona that is 15,000 years old.

Richard, If you have the CD bring it. Something magical happens when you play the music out there.
I have done it many times and i always got the "goose bumps".

CD?
How strong will be the magic then, when you take the original vinyl and
play it there? :eek:

If you search for the tree to no avail.....
You can sing "I still haven't found what I'm looking for"

Then you have still the record player and of course the camera gear...
And you were there in the end!

Have fun
