Where will you stay in Joshua Tree ? The park is stunning but the towns near it are nothing great (run down touristy) I would drive from LA area to Palm Springs (can take 2 hours can take 5 hours or more - depending on day of the week and traffic) and make that you base to visit Joshua Tree (whole day needed here even if just to drive it and stop off for photos etc. Its huge ) , living desert, wonderful art galleries, areal tram way *another near full day needed really or a late afternoon/evening visit. Then drive form PS to Sand Diego (doable in 2 hrs and traffic usually light)
