I agree, Hidden Valley is terrific! I also suggest 49 palms (hike to an oasis) or the Lost Horse Mine hike (not too difficult, amazing views!).  

You might want to read the current issue of "Outside" magazine which profiles Americas most dangerous National Parks.  Now, I don't mean to discourage you, Joshua Tree is a great place (one of my favorites), but this article may give you some helpful hints for staying safe.   One thing, be sure to bring lots of water!!!
