Joshua Tree March 07

As promised, a few pics from my last trip to Joshua Tree.

So Joshua Tree is all desert landscape. It looks really desolate so the fact that anything had ever existed out there seems really strange. A little off the trail for the Wall St. Mill there was the remains of a house. Most of it was just foundation, but there was still this window.



This is one of the larger Joshua Trees.



Along the Barker Dam hike there's this "no swimming" sign. WTF?



But then it all becomes clear - there's a dam in the middle of the desert and still a little bit of water remaining.



This is the view from our campsite at Jumbo Rock. In addition to lots of Joshua Trees, the park is full of big huge boulders. Great places to hang out and watch the sunset.



Desert sunsets are awesome.
I was actually up for one of the sunrises, but unfortunately I was too out of it to grab my camera.
