Can see why U2 loved it!

So we went to The Joshua Tree National Park, which was just a hop and a skip from Palm Springs.

It is a great National Park. Really interesting landscape and scenery. It was $15 to get in with a car for a week pass. Would prefer to have paid $5 for a day pass...

It took us about 4 hours to drive through the park, with numerous stops for photos and a very brief picnic stop in rather cold winds. The trees themselves are awesome and look like something out of Dr Seuss.

The park ranges from small boulders to boulder based mountains and the flora and fauna changes every few miles. It was very cool, but probably the least spectacular out of the 4 National Parks I have visited in the US. Skeleton Rock was pretty darn cool...


We saw a couple of coyotes as well, which was cool as these were the first I had seen in the US.



There are a plethora of hikes for the more adventurous people out there, but we found driving through and getting out a few times the best for us... Go if you are in that part of the world for sure!
I also can't wait to get my camera films developed!
