We have been to Joshua Tree National Park a few years ago but had only seen the north side. This time, we entered from the South and traveled North to Yucca Valley. The rock formations are fascinating to me. We checked out one of the campgrounds. It was probably too small for our rig. Tents were best but then there the snakes. Still, I would love to spend at least one night in the desert to be without lights to watch the night sky. We drove along Pinto Basin Road to Hidden Valley where we walked the one mile loop trail. There were climbers on the rock faces and children exploring the formations.

This house of stone blended with the hillside
outside of the park. |

Looking up at someone's knees in Hidden Valley,
which was believed to be a cattle rustlers'
hideout. |

It's hard to see the phone camera screen in the sunlight.
I was trying to capture the desert iguana on the rock
but only a part of him made the frame. |
