The Invisible House: a 22-story skyscraper laid on its side and made almost entirely of glass, sitting on 90 acres of desert land a quick drive from Joshua Tree National Park.

In honor of National Public Lands Day, all national parks will be free to visit on Saturday, Sept. 27. This can save you as much as $50 entry fee at many places.

When the park starts getting crowded, you can take a break and eat your picnic you've brought, or head on out.
"As a Joshua Tree local, we all know the best entrance is the Twentynine Palms entrance. ... It's the part of the park that looks the most like it's a different planet," said Benjamin Uyeda, a co-founder and designer of the hotel who has lived in the area since 2017.
