Arizona's Stunning Joshua Tree Parkway - A Scenic Hidden Gem!

In this video we travel along the Joshua Tree Parkway, making our way to Nothing and Wikieup Arizona. The Joshua Tree Parkway Scenic Drive is a breathtaking route along U.S. Highway 93 in northwestern Arizona, stretching through the Big Sandy Valley between Wickenburg and Kingman. This scenic drive is named for the dense forests of Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) that line the highway, creating a surreal and otherworldly landscape. As you travel this remote and peaceful stretch, you'll experience expansive desert vistas, rugged mountain backdrops, and an abundance of iconic Southwestern scenery. The road winds through the Sonoran and Mojave Desert transition zone, making it a unique ecological corridor where saguaro cacti and Joshua trees coexist. This drive is perfect for road trip enthusiasts, photographers, and drone videographers looking to capture the stark beauty of Arizona’s desert wilderness. Sunrises and sunsets bathe the landscape in golden hues, making for truly breathtaking visuals. Wildlife sightings may include desert bighorn sheep, jackrabbits, and hawks soaring overhead. With light traffic and open skies, the Joshua Tree Parkway Scenic Drive is an underrated Arizona gem, offering a tranquil escape into the untamed beauty of the Southwest. Nothing, Arizona, is an infamous ghost town and roadside curiosity along U.S. Highway 93, about 20 miles south of Wikieup. Once intended as a humorous stop for travelers, Nothing lived up to its name, as it never grew beyond a small outpost with a gas station and convenience store. Today, all that remains are a few abandoned buildings, faded signs, and graffiti-covered ruins, making it an eerie yet intriguing photo opportunity for road trippers. The town’s original sign humorously declared: "The staunch citizens of Nothing are full of hope, faith, and believe in the work ethic. Through the years, these dedicated people had faith in Nothing, hoped for Nothing, worked at Nothing, and at last, for Nothing." Though desolate and abandoned, Nothing has become a legendary roadside stop, attracting travelers looking for an offbeat detour and a fun photo with one of Arizona’s most ironically named places. Wikieup is a small, unincorporated town along U.S. Highway 93, nestled in the Big Sandy Valley of northwestern Arizona. Known as the "Rattlesnake Capital of Arizona," this quirky roadside stop is a common way-point for travelers driving between Phoenix and Las Vegas. The area is surrounded by rugged desert terrain, towering Joshua trees, and scenic mountain views, making it a picturesque yet remote slice of the Southwest. Wikieup is home to a few local diners, gas stations, and unique roadside attractions. Visitors can also spot colorful metal sculptures, old relics, and quirky signs, adding to the town’s eccentric charm. Nearby, the Big Sandy River provides a rare glimpse of water in the desert, attracting local wildlife like bighorn sheep and roadrunners. For those seeking a quintessential Arizona road trip experience, Wikieup serves as a scenic and nostalgic stop, offering a glimpse into the laid-back, old-school character of Arizona’s desert towns. 0:00 Intro 0:06 Joshua Tree Forest 1:08 Joshua Tree Parkway 2:06 Nothing Arizona 4:34 Wikieup, Arizona 4:38 Snoopy's Rocket 4:49 Bikini Lady 4:53 Classic Car 5:02 Fashion Girl 5:05 Giant Snake ASLC-3A896440-093515381A
