Hi guys, I am headed to Joshua tree this weekend, anyone know some cool spots to check out? As well as any 4wd trails? I am also headed to the Eastern Sierras for a few days in the next 2 weeks. If anyone has GPX files to share that would be great!

Thank you in advance!
 
I've backpack Joshua Tree a while back and I really liked the 12 Palms Oasis. Theirs a parking lot near by so it's a short hike to the Oasis. If you like Bouldering, theirs a large Boulder field above the Oasis that's fun to explore with lots of crevasses to crawl through.
 
Loved camping in Indian Cove Campground at JT.
The Berdoo Canyon Trail is pretty awesome if you're looking for some offroad action.
 
Check the downloadable GPS tracks here. I think there's one that takes you from Joshua Tree / 29 Palms area up into Big Bear. That ones on my list.
