I spent the past two weeks in California working at a YMCA camp- but that is for another post. This post is about the first weekend we spent in Joshua Tree National Park.
Joshua Tree is a climbing mecca for L.A. residents. Our first weekend off Tony, Mei and I went down to L.A. first for a party, and then spent the rest of the weekend in Joshua Tree. It is a desert park filled with very interesting granite formations and of course the Joshua Trees, which are not actually trees but in the Yucca family.
The trees seem to get more interesting and bizzar every time you see them. It is a weird landscape that will be flat for huge expanses with only these Joshua Trees filling the void, appearing to be equally spaced. Enlarge the photos above and below to see the climbers.
It is even more weird to drive through the park at night when your headlights are the only source of light- somehow the plants just seem to pop out of nowhere and you feel like you are driving on another planet.
Be sure to take a closer look at some of these photos in order to see the people subjects in them- some are small and hard to see from the regular view (in order to enlarge just click on the photo).
