A visit to Joshua Tree N.P.

Last week I spent two days in Joshua Tree National Park. A beautiful park in the Mojave Desert (Southern California), a couple of hours east of Los Angeles. It is a very nice park to visit. It covers two environments, the Mojave desert on the North side and then it transitions to the Sonoran desert in the lower elevations on the Southern part. These are very different in the type of vegetation and terrain. The Joshua Tree that gives its name to the park is in the Northern (Mojave) area.

There are many rocks and collections of big boulders all over the place. These are a great magnet for rock climbers of all ages. They come in droves, equipped with ropes and hooks and have a ball. I’ve even seen this little kid doing it with a class and an instructor as seen in these pictures

Superb
Excellent crisp images. I really appreciate the series with wide to super telephoto images. It really helps give the viewer a sense of the place.
