First of all, welcome to the board!
Second of all, Joshua Flat on the Big Pine-Death Valley road has a dense forest of Joshuas. Although none that I can think of are really big, but still there are many. The closer you get to the park boundary - shared with that of Inyo National Forest - Joshuas mix with piñon pine. And on the northern slope (facing south) above the road, you can see Joshuas growing to what appears to be about 8500 feet, a real phenomena.
There is a fairly dense forest of small Joshua trees - mainly single trunk and one or two branched - in upper Oriental Wash, just outside of the park in Nevada. They also grow up into the piñon belt on Gold Mountain. But there are nice views down into northernmost Death Valley.
