Joshua Tree | Feb 09 - #

Weekend trip to Joshua Tree National Park. It was very cold at times, and we stayed in a warm hotel in 29 Palms. We drove the Geology Tour road, hiked Ryan Mountain, watched the sunset from Keys View and hiked to 49 Palms oasis. Here are some of the best photos from the trip, enjoy!

Pile of rocks at the top of Ryan Mountain, and yes, we added a small rock to it. The snowy peaks on the left and right in the distance are San Jacinto and San Gorgonio, respectively.

Looking West from Ryan Mountain. I'm fairly certain the rocks in the foreground include Cap Rock. The peak in the background is San Gorgonio.

Ryan Mountain trail, with the Wonderland of Rocks in the distance. I especially like this photo because of the gradient in the soil colors on the lower right.

Colorful, shriveled prickly pear cactus, that has near-microscopic spines.
