Been to Zabriskie point a bunch, including hiking up and back down down from Golden Canyon. Heck, my kids when young even scared the hell out of me by trying to climb Manly Beacon! I don't remember ever seeing Joshua trees there. However, I'm not that observant!

Apparently, there are some parts of Death Valley NP that have Joshua trees -- e.g., Lee Flat. It's pretty far from Lee Flat in Death Valley NP to Joshua Tree NP, however! (250 to 300+ miles.)

Whoops, just noticed that Lee Flat isn't even in Saline Valley but the next valley west. That's really obscure and just barely in the park.
