There is Joshua Tree, the tree; Joshua Tree, the town; and Joshua Tree, the National Park. As we began our trip to Washington, we hit all three. Going through the Joshua Tree National Park and then north let us skip all of the LA traffic. So what if it took a couple hours longer.
- Here is cholla cactus, yucca, and a Joshua Tree.
- The famour skull rock.
- We have ocotillo at home too, but this one is big…
- …and this one is dead.
- Dead Joshua Tree.
- The Cholla Garden. I don’t remember this many cholla the last time we visited the park (when the kids were young). But Jeff definitely remembers his encounter with the “jumping cactus.”
