Joshua Tree

We got back from a week at the Palm Desert Intrawest location last night. We drove down, stayed six nights, and drove on back to Vancouver. The drive itself is about 2200kms, so it's not a trip you would take on a whim.

On our way home on Saturday, we took a short detour through Joshua Tree National Park. I had a park pass that was still valid until June, so that seemed like reason enough to go. Once we were in the park, I realized again just why I feel so attracted to it. It is unlike any other place you'll go. The trees are spectacular (Joshua Trees - duh), and the landscape looks so incredible you think it's fake - somebody must have placed all those rocks there.

The campsites are small but the location is otherworldly. I want to make a real effort to come back and stay for a couple of weeks.
