Saddleback Butte State Park, Desert conservation area in Hi Vista, United States
The state park encompasses 2,955 acres of Mojave Desert terrain with a prominent volcanic butte rising to 3,651 feet above sea level.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation established this protected area in 1960 to safeguard the native Joshua Tree desert habitat.
Native American tribes inhabited the region near the current park location, leaving evidence of their presence through artifacts and traditional gathering sites.

The park contains one of California's largest concentrations of Joshua Trees, creating distinct silhouettes against the Antelope Valley's desert horizon.
