Today we drove around to the other side of the mountains behind us for a visit to Joshua Tree National Park. It is on the Mojave desert side where the elevation is 2000 to 5000 feet higher than it is here on the Colorado Desert side. It was about 15 degree's cooler and windier. Joshua Tree is a year round rock climbers paradise.
We didn't know what Joshua trees were so I guess we were expecting to see more of a forest type setting. An example of Joshua trees are shown in one picture you can also see a Joshua tree in the picture of the rock climbers. We saw a lot of Joshua trees and granite rock formations. Duh this is the desert forests don't grow in a desert.
