This is where the thinking part of It’s Good To Think lives — slow travel guides, notes from Stardust Haven, and reflections that tend to show up only after a few days in the high desert.
As Stardust Haven grows, this page will fill with more guides and essays — all written from a small, quiet place near the north entrance of Joshua Tree National Park.
If you care more about stargazing and slow mornings than crowded trails, the “best time to visit” isn’t about peak season — it’s about temperature, moonlight, and how much noise you’re escaping from.
Cities are great for momentum. Deserts are great for honesty. A few days in Joshua Tree can feel like stepping outside your own story just long enough to edit it.
Less “do everything,” more “do a few things well.” A simple two-day flow that leaves room for walks, stars, and the kind of conversations you remember a year later.
Why we chose this corner of the desert, what we optimized the space for, and the little details (like light, silence, and notebooks) that matter more than square footage.
You don’t stay in Joshua Tree forever. But the way you notice light, time, and conversation might come home with you — if you let it.
