Ava takes a day trip from Palm Springs, California to Joshua Tree to see what all the hype is about. She explores both Joshua Tree National Park and the town of Joshua Tree for a holistic sampling of the high desert, and shares some tips on how to do Joshua Tree the rich-bixch way.

First, Ava has a quick brush with nature to see the namesake trees and nothing more at Cap Rock, the perfect trail loop for minimizing your chances of getting lost - and sweating through your pants.

From there, she heads into town to collect enough beverages to power a girlie shopping haul that will have you girlie-ing, before topping off the afternoon with lunch at a destination restaurant reviewed by the New York Times.

Tune in for the desert highs, lows, and everything in between as Ava shares her experiences to help you plan your own day trip to Joshua Tree.
