We hung out with Jenna in Joshua Tree National Park last weekend. Other than all the Joshua Trees there were rocks, rocks, and more rocks. It truly felt like we were the Flintstones living in Bedrock. These were all formations that were underwater thousands of years ago.
Arch rock...aptly named!
The Joshua Tree...they are everywhere and this is the only place they grow. Interesting tidbit...this is not a tree at all, but a plant. It branches each times it reproduces and when it gets too top heavy they just fall over b/c there is no wood to hold it up. Thanks for the info Jenna!
The mountain with the little bit of remaining snow in the background above is San Jacinto Mountain in Palm Springs. Even more interesting here is that the small range of hills you can see in the haze just under the mountains is the San Andreas Fault line.
Ahhh...relaxing after a very long hike! Brian thought the rock formations in the distance looked like fossilized dinosaur poop!
