They pulled over and hiked about 10 minutes south from the highway. Anton Corbijn's iconic shot of U2 and on the inside cover of 'The Joshua Tree.' (Steven Cuevas/KQED) U2 had spent several days exploring the otherworldly desert landscapes of the Coachella Valley and Death Valley (the photo that graces "The Joshua Tree" album cover was shot at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley). The story goes that it was Dutch photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn who spotted the tree while motoring along Highway 190 with the band out of Death Valley National Park. On the inside cover of "The Joshua Tree," the members of U2 stare grimly into the camera, a lone Joshua tree looming behind them.
