Hi All,
The drive from Death Valley to Joshua Tree was 250 miles of stark Mojave Desert. Joshua Tree at 4,000 ft elevation gets only 4 inches of rail annually but that's double the rainfall on Death Valley.
The Joshua tree is a large branching yucca plant. The other feature of this park is the rock formations.
Is this one a Hershey Kiss or one of the seven dwarfs?
Keys View provides a look across the valley towards Palm Springs. The dark brown line on the valley floor is the San Andreas fault!
Here's a panorama from Keys View
The geology here is fascinating.
The park calls this "Skull Rock"
We found lots of other shapes including breaching whales, aliens, Easter Island statues and the Olympic torch. Great fun.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
