Joshua Tree National Park
Introduction
Project Overview This Wayside Exhibits Proposal for Joshua Tree National Park (JOTR) includes wayside exhibits that will provide orientation, safety information, and interpretation at locations throughout the park.
This project includes the planning, design, fabrication, and audio description (scripts only) of wayside exhibits. Up to 150 wayside exhibits will be identified and described in the Proposal. The NPS team will select waysides as an outcome of this Proposal phase to be moved forward into Plan development and fabrication (Phase 1). The selection will adhere to the predetermined production budget. Installation is not included in the project scope.
The wayside panels will be fabricated in high-pressure laminate (HPL) and the wayside hardware (bases) will be fabricated in aluminum and painted NPS Brown to match existing bases in the park.
Wayside exhibits will be planned and designed using the following principles, standards, and guidelines:
• NPS Wayside Exhibits Guide
• NPS 2018 Editorial Style Guide
• NPS Wayside Exhibit Map Standards
• NPS Wayside Exhibit Typographic Standards
• Principles of Universal Design
• Accessibility Compliance Guidelines (ADA and ABA)
Physical Accessibility The National Park Service (NPS) is committed to making all practicable efforts to make park facilities, programs, and services accessible and usable by all people, including those with disabilities. Accordingly, each wayside location has been assessed for physical accessibility as part of the wayside exhibit process, as well as possibilities for multi-modal, multi-sensory exhibit components. In addition, audio description (scripts only) is included in this project scope.
To promote accessibility, and acknowledging that certain areas of the park may be inaccessible to some visitors, accessible PDFs of all the wayside panels should be available for visitors on the park website and as printed copies at park visitor centers.
508-compliant PDFs will be developed during wayside design and provided with the closeout package. In addition, the park could consider additional options for parallel experiences, such as an app.
For Visitors with Mobility Impairments
• NPS accessibility guidelines for mobility at and around wayside exhibits call for ground surfaces to be stable, level, firm, and slip-resistant; the exhibit pad itself to be a hard surface; and wayside exhibits should be installed at wheelchair accessible locations whenever possible.
• Wayside exhibit panels will be installed at heights and angles favorable for viewing by all visitors, including wheelchair users. Waysides will use cane detection rather than standard bases, as specified in the Wayside Hardware Specification Manual. The cane strike bar makes the waysides 27” from the ground. When other-than-standard bases are defined, they will adhere to the same height and angle considerations as standard bases.
• Exhibit sites will offer clear, unrestricted views of park features referred to in the exhibits.
For Visitors with Visual Impairments
• Exhibit typography will be legible and readable, according to the NPS Wayside Exhibit Typographic Standards.
• Panel colors will be selected to reduce eyestrain and glare and to provide excellent readability under field conditions.
Because of its reflectivity, white will not be used as a background color.
• Tactile elements on waysides may include a combination of 3D models, bas relief sculptures, and replicas, with accessibility componensts such as raised letters and textures, symbols and/or characters, and Braille elements. Tactiles will be bronze unless otherwise specified.
• Audio description will be provided for all waysides that are designed and fabricated.
For Visitors with Hearing Impairments
• Wayside exhibit panels will communicate visually and will rely heavily on graphics to interpret park resources.
Site Preparation Site assessments included assessing the existing base structure in each location, as applicable. Whenever possible, we recommend reusing existing bases that are structurally sound. In some cases, repainting or touch-up paint may be needed.
Each wayside location was assessed independently. Some common concerns are: lack of accessible parking spaces, lack of curb cuts for wheelchairs, steep slope or uneven terrain leading up to the wayside, and barriers in front of the wayside (e.g., rocks or fences).
Site preparation for new wayside exhibits should ensure ADA-compliant access to the wayside with compliant surface material and adequate clearance for other visitors to move around those stopped at the wayside. In particular, when the waysides are installed, the finished height from the ground surface to the front edge of a low-profile cantilever base or the bottom rail of
Introduction an upright base should be 32” (see the NPS VIS and Wayside Hardware Specification Manual).
Generally speaking, most waysides will go through the compliance process. The ones that are a direct replacement will be straightforward, but any that involve digging a hole for a third leg, putting a wayside in a new location, or changing a standard wayside to a drive-by, or any waysides that discuss Native Americans will need a more involved process to comply with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. When the park chooses the waysides to develop under this contract (anticipated to be about 40 waysides), the NPS project lead will submit a list of waysides, locations, and other information to the park leadership team and then the compliance committee to start the compliance process.
When needed, additional site preparation notes are included for individual exhibits.
Wayside Design and Materials
Panel Design
Panels will be designed using the NPS Adobe InDesign templates for wayside exhibits, which include a standard layout and NPS-specified fonts. Since wayside exhibits are a visual medium, as much as possible, panels will be designed to convey information visually with a minimal amount of text.
Panel Material and Maintenance
Panel material is high-pressure laminate (HPL) for outdoor use.
This material has a ten-year limited warranty.
HPL is composed of inkjet prints sandwiched between multiple layers of melamine and phenolic sheets, bonded together at high pressures and temperatures to form a solid core. These panels are durable, weather-resistant, and easy to maintain. Dirt and graffiti can be easily washed off by park staff.
The recommendations for annual maintenance for HPL include annually cleaning the surface with hand grade soap and water, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry the surface with a soft cloth or chamois. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, acids or acetone as they will damage the surface of the panel.
Graffiti (paint, crayon, felt tip markers, etc) can be removed using organic solvents, such as Simple Green® , Goof-Off ® , or similar non-abrasive, citrus-based cleaners. Very stubborn graffiti may require stronger solvents, such as mineral spirits or industry-grade graffiti removers. Always rinse with clean water after cleaning. Minor blemishes, nicks, abrasions, burns, or light scratches can be concealed using a polymer-based boat or car wax.
Base Hardware Wayside hardware (bases) material is aluminum painted NPS Brown to match the existing bases.
Mounting styles are typically identified as in-ground, but could be revised to include sled bases (for mobility or to avoid interference with underground cultural resources) or other mounting types. For drive-by waysides, mounting to boulders would help these very large waysides blend into the landscape.
Hardware bases should include a cane-detection bar.
Interpretive Distribution We understand this project to be one of many that the park and its partners are undertaking to respond to increased visitation, among other concerns. The project team discussed two options for disseminating interpretive information that can be expressed at various locations: multiple locations and centralized nodes.
Multiple Locations
The project team identified several key questions that visitors have about Joshua trees. In future planning, the park could consider a repeating set of three waysides that visitors encounter from the west, north, and south when they first see Joshua trees or a single drive-by at those locations that point visitors to an interpretive node focused on presenting more in-depth interpretive messaging about Joshua trees.
For this Draft Proposal, we have proposed exhibits that disseminate Joshua tree information at multiple locations:
• 438 & 440: Branching and Blooming (Drive-by duplicates) at Jumbo Rocks
• Two sets of three waysides for Joshua Tree FAQs about pollination, ecology, and Mojave Desert species.
• Pinto Basin Road (North) or near Belle Campground: 447 Pollination, 448 Ecology, and 449 Mojave Symbol
• Park Blvd (West): 455 Pollination, 456 Ecology; 462 Mojave Symbol
• 457 & 458: Joshua Tree / Yucca Comparison (Drive-by duplicates) along Park Road
Interpretive Nodes
The concept of a centralized place, or “node,” to express a specific interpretive topic was discussed during the site visit with various park and partner personnel. An interpretive node is envisioned as providing a more robust interpretive experience than a single wayside can provide. For example, a node could include interpretive panels, tactile elements, and other sensory experiences clustered together in a shaded plaza area close to park amenities like picnic tables, and toilets.
Introduction The media assessment and waysides project team identified interpretive topics that would be well served through a node:
Joshua trees, cholla, mining, climbing, inspiration, geology, Native American cultures, night skies, and desert stewardship.
As a result of a project team decision (June 6, 2019 call), this Proposal presents three potential node topics, reusing existing kiosk bases: Mining (101A-C), Climbing (151A-C & 152 A-C), and Cholla (196A-C). Site visit participants discussed that this “node” approach could be implemented for the other topics as part of other park development projects.
Tribal Consultation Interpretive messaging about Native American cultures and stories will be developed in collaboration with the tribes. Any exhibits noting Native American stories require consultation with relevant tribes to gather their interest and input. JOTR staff will facilitate all tribal consultation efforts.
The Trip Report was presented for tribal consideration at the All Tribes Meeting in June 2019 as a first step toward a collaborative development process. We understand that tribal members at that meeting responded positively to the project. In addition, the tribes would like to receive hard copies of the proposals and plans. (Five printed and bound copies will be provided by the consultant; the NPS will print additional copies as needed from the PDF version). The NPS will consult with tribes to develop waysides about current or past Native Americans.
Exhibit Types The project team looked for opportunities to provide consistent messaging, especially safety messaging at backcountry boards, campgrounds, and trailheads, through distinctive types of waysides that support the visitor’s experience.
Backcountry Boards (BCB)
• Rebrand “Backcountry Camping” as “Wilderness Backpacking.”
• Highlight opportunities for day use in the larger (36x48) panel, redesign the permit box, and provide specific backcountry information on a new narrow panel.
• At certain locations, consider adding minimal lighting that conforms with International Dark-Sky Association dark sky park standards.
• Many of the BCB locations will be considered as part of a comprehensive overnight use plan, trail management plan and/or other, separate park planning projects.
• The map boundaries on these panels will be determined during the design phase in collaboration with the NPS team.
Trail maps will be needed when waysides are developed.
• The maps will show where wilderness camping is allowed.
Campground Orientation
• Triple-in-line wayside (two panels and a bulletin case with an extra large header with the campground name) will replace the 3-sided kiosks. Panel (A) is park-wide orientation and encourages campers to hike to/visit nearby locations.
Panel (B) is campground/campsite map with campground specific information (fees, regulations, etc.). A triple-in-line configuration is better suited to the campground entrance locations because all of the information is facing the visitor, notably those in their cars when they arrive. It also minimizes the accessibility challenges the park is currently facing with the three-sided kiosk as often two of the three kiosk panels are not accessible for people in wheelchairs.
• The bulletin case would be used for changeable information, such as reservations lists. Currently, the reservation information for all campgrounds is in flux.
• The 3-sided kiosks could be used temporarily for the campground orientation information, but this is not recommended because they are not well-placed and do not function well for this purpose. Consider reusing the 3-sided kiosks at more appropriate locations.
• The brown “Information” signs are recommended to remain in most locations, and the historic character of these message boards should be maintained to the extent possible. To make them more useful for visitors, clips should be added to the front for visitor notes and “Information” changed to “Messages.” The board will be for visitor-to-visitor note leaving, which is necessary due to lack of cellular service in most of the park. Flyers and other signs will be posted on bulletin boards and not on the brown “information” signs, unless no bulletin board is available.
• In all campground locations, the in-line replacements are ideal, recognizing that an intermediate step may be to adapt or reuse the existing kiosk for campground information.
Bathroom Readers
• Distribute these signs across different toilet locations (one per vault toilet).
• Voice should be campier than other waysides, and use short, punchy titles, minimal text, and color-block illustrations (see the exhibit sheets for graphic inspiration).
• The bathroom reader signs will be in frames for durability and to reduce the likelihood of delamination.
• Panel material needs to be impervious to water and bleach, which are used for cleaning.
Trailheads (Standard and Mini)
• Standard Trailheads (36x48) are used at major trails. These
Introduction panels include map, safety information, and either brief interpretive information or things to do nearby.
• Mini Trailheads (24x36) are used at secondary trails or to supplement Standard Trailheads on longer trails. These panels include a map and safety information.
• In certain locations, a small wayside attachment (e.g., a third leg with a tall, narrow panel ) would include climbing info/ rules/regs. This element will need to look distinct from regular trailheads to attract climbers attention.
• The map boundaries on the trailhead panels will be determined during the design phase in collaboration with the NPS team. To-date, neither trail maps nor a complete listing of trails has been provided and the park is undertaking several planning projects that could affect trail maps.
• Trailhead signs must have the following information:
• Length of the trail or trail segment
• Type of trail surface
• Typical and minimum trail tread width
• Typical and maximum trail grade
• Typical and maximum trail cross slope
• See the US Access Board website for more information about trailhead and trail facility requirements: https://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/recreation-facilities/ outdoor-developed-areas/a-summary-of-accessibility-standards-for-federal-outdoor-developed-areas/trailheads
Interpretive Waysides
• Low-profile waysides share place-specific interpretation, showing and describing the view, landscape, or site history, especially when it is no longer visible. Interpretation links visitors intellectually and emotionally with the story and/or resource.
• Interpretive waysides answer the questions, “So what?” and “Why should I care?” Visitors should also be able to relate their own personal experiences to the interpretive message on the wayside. Forging this connection could be supported through audience-centered questions and asking visitors to think about the interpretive message through personal reflection, such as: “What does this have to do with me?”
Interpretive Drive-bys
• Large upright waysides present place-specific interpretation to be viewed from a vehicle. Drive-bys will typically include less text and larger fonts than a traditional wayside. Benefits of drive-bys are that sites with limited physical accessibility can provide interpretive information equally to all visitors and viewing the panels from their vehicles can be more comfortable, especially in summer.
• 106 Group prototyped different type sizes, and wayside heights and angles to assess readability from a vehicle, view of the landscape beyond the wayside, and potential visitor comfort with this type of media. The base forms shown for the drive-by exhibits represent our recommendation based on results of the prototyping exercise.
• Consider personalizing these to JOTR. For example, design a custom frame to set these apart, include sculptural elements, or integrate them into the landscape, such as using boulders as mounts.
Exhibit Numbering Wayside exhibit numbers begin with 100 and are distributed by wayside type and location.
100s Interpretive Nodes
201-213 Wilderness Backpacking (“Backcountry Boards”)
220-269 Campground Orientation
270-276 Bathroom Readers
300s Trailheads (Park Orientation)
400s Interpretive (includes Drive-bys)
Review Considerations
• 300s: A third leg has been added to trailheads when the site visit team discussed that climbing safety information would be particularly important, but climbing safety/ethics information can be added to any trailhead, if needed.
• 327_328: The park is working with Mojave Desert Land Trust to develop a plan to raise funds from private donors to create an “orientation plaza.” The main area would be located at what is now the small parking pullout associated with 328.
The park has developed a concept that includes four parts of a potentially new “Sunset District” of the park. JT Lab has developed this concept with input from park staff. The concept is in review with the superintendent and the land trust.
1. Maze Area: Could be a new wilderness backpacking board location, offer equestrian access, and provide overflow parking for Bigfoot.
2. Visitor Orientation Site: Located at Bigfoot, this would have parking for 60-70 cars; short and long-term hiking options for sunset viewing; ADA area for sunset viewing;
Introduction and multiple orientation/park themes waysides to give information to people who did not stop at the visitor center in Joshua Tree.
3. Samulson’s Rocks: Add a hard curb for no parking (limit access).
4. “Trophy Tree” Area: ADA trail from tree to and around rocks.
• 408 and 426 were removed per NPS comments.
• 449 (OVC Bulletin Cases) was removed because the OVC will be remodeled and changeable information will be provided via a digital display in the window.
Priorities & Implementation Strategies The NPS will move forward with planning and design in areas with high impact and low initial site development needs, including NEPA, Section 106, and accessibility compliance.
Exhibits will be selected for development based on the set production budget under this contract.
Future Planning
Portions of this project should be considered as the park undertakes other planning projects. For example, the brown “Information” signs in the campgrounds are recommended to be refurbished, but, as part of a different campground project, the park could decide to remove them.
Where applicable, notes have been added to clarify the potential for project overlap and specific considerations. Key considerations include: planning processes for overnight use, trails management, and visitor use/capacity.
In many cases, future planning could mean that the project would be at least two years out.
Park Shuttle
The Roadrunner Shuttle funding was for a two-year pilot program that included two years of NPS funding and two years of Morongo Basin Transit Authority (MBTA) funding. The two pilot years are completed and the data collected by the Bus Ambassadors and the Bus Operators continues to be analyzed by a professional Transit Contractor that works on a contract under the NPS Regional Office Transportation Coordinator.
The park anticipates regrouping in the future and trying another shuttle program, in collaboration with MBTA, including the purchase of busses to use exclusively at JOTR. Currently, details about the future program are unknown, but recommendations by contractors, MBTA, park staff, and comments received by visitors will all be considered.
Production Estimate
The production estimate was not updated from the Final Proposal.

*LNT
For all backcountry panels, the park's Leave No Trace Hot Spot report recommends expanding the Leave No Trace section with archeological information (ie. what “rock shelters” are and why not to camp in them).
Replace "no firearms" with "no shooting or hunting.”
Around 2010 the NPS law was changed to reflect 2nd amendment rights (see link below). It is legal for a person to carry a firearm if they are legally allowed to own and carry a firearm. Someone may challenge the waysides as a violation of their 2A rights.
