Joshua tree national park
June 15, 2025 -Late Arrival, Starry Magic & Desert Wonders. We rolled into Joshua Tree late and found a quiet campground under the stars—and wow, what a night sky!. Up early with the sunrise, we drove to the park’s highest viewpoint—wide desert views as far as the eye could see, bathed in soft morning light. Then came Skull Rock, grinning at us from the roadside, and the surreal forest of Joshua Trees standing tall and twisted in the golden sand. We ended at the Cholla Cactus Garden, where every cactus seemed to glow in the sunshine.
