We stopped by Joshua Tree Natural Park on the way to La Quinta. The area we explored was the Northwest park where there is a forest of Joshua Trees. Fun fact: Joshua Trees are not located in all areas of the park. It was just beautiful to see and the photos don’t do a justice. We only saw a small part but hope to go back and explore more one day.
Yes, that is a snowy mountain in the background. It was strange to be in the desert and see snow top mountains.
