Walking Still in the Desert

Nice Story. Thanks Drew!

Great words Drew, from one 58 year old to another!

Great trip report.

I was their around Christmas time and the car campgrounds were packed.

Hike a mile from the road and I was alone.

I will be back and spend more time.

I love the desert. That's probably good because I live in Henderson, NV right up against the McCullough Hills, the southern mountains of the 'Vegas valley. It's where I train for backpacking.

In the summer training has to start at 6 AM to get in an hour or so before it warms up to 95 or 100 F.

BTW, those are great photos, you ol' desert rat.

Enjoyable read. One of my favorite places.

Great read – a report, pictures and story all in one. Thank you.

I have loved Joshua Tree since the Monument days as well and recently rediscovered it. Truly special.
