Joshua Tree National Park




Joshua Tree National Park in California was far more striking than any picture could ever depict. The Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert meet in the middle of the park, so there are two distinct ecosystems in the same park. My favorite part of the park was the Cholla Cactus Garden. I am standing next to a Cholla in the third picture. The first picture features a Joshua Tree...imagine that. The second picture was taken at Key's View, where one can actually see the San Andreas Fault. The winds at Key's View were sustained at about 50 mph. It literally took my breath away.
