Baumann explores the desert oasis of Joshua Tree National Park in southern California, renowned for its sublime energy and beautiful landscapes. Interviews include interpretive ranger Sarah Hinton, who explains the evolution of the park’s botany, climber Eric Foltz and his colleagues as he takes us up one of the sandstone formations, and Joe Zarki, ranger and historian, who details the human history of the region. Baumann ultimately hikes into the park and discovers an intimate vista where he is seen painting Joshua trees in bloom.
