It's better that the multitudes visit Yosemite Valley than the higher 
elevation back country. The valley can handle the pressures better. It's 
pretty amazing how well the higner elevation Toulome Meadows has held up to 
the number of visitors though.

... But Joshua Tree National Park is not a valley cut into an 8000 ft high 
area. It does have both the higher elevation Mojave Desert (3000ft +) and 
the lower elevation Colorado dessert in the park. It's also a wonderful 
place that can be frigging cold!

Yosemite Valley is a beautiful place from almost any viewpoint, but
is almost loved to death by the crowds of visitors people who visit
every summer. Other seasons and higher elevations have become much
nicer.
->
Interestingly the elevation of the Yosemite Valley floor is about the
same elevation as Joshua Tree National Park which is a desert to the
south.
