I spend my days day dreaming about places I have yet to visit. I am beyond lucky to be living in California where there is so much to see and do. This weekend my family and I drove 2 hours east to visit Joshua Tree National Park. I had heard incredible things about this part of the desert so I had to check it out for myself.
We arrived to the park Friday afternoon. The roads were empty, the air was dry, and on top of that there was absolutely no service. But this made the trip more enjoyable because we were not easily distracted.
First stop: Cholla Cactus Garden
The cholla (cho-ya) cactus garden was such a sweet view. There was a small pathway for visitors to walk through the garden, but you had to be careful. These plants are known to penetrate through your skin if you touch a single spine.
