Sunset with Joshua Trees.

Hooray! We arrived in Joshua Tree National Park, which is located in south-eastern California about 8 hours from our home. It is a huge, gorgeous desert that includes over 1,200 miles of land and over 4,000 rock climbing routes.

Part of the park is in the Mojave Desert and houses the Joshua tree, which is the very distinctive tree that grows throughout the park. I think it looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. It's a surreal and beautiful place, and I was happy to arrive.

lexlevans we went there a few years back when my mom and i were visited my brother - i have to say it was one of my favorite places i've ever visited. SO awesome, incredible, and like nothing i'd ever seen! the giant rocks, the joshua trees, the desert, the mountains - wow. i want to go back there so badly. at one point we encountered some snow (crazy how the temp changes so much there!) and made mini snowmen, haha. we climbed some crazy rocks too. i have so many great photos from that trip - and i'm loving seeing yours! that sky in #2 and #2 is phenomenal! :-)
