Today we drove all the way back north to where the Joshua Trees are most abundant as well as the boulder piles and many trails. It has been over 10 years since we have camped in Joshua Tree but we remember taking this hike although it sure seemed a lot longer and more strenuous than the last time. Think maybe we have aged a bit and are slowing down!
Anyway, it was a good day for hiking and it was interesting to see the stamp mill at the old mine. We stopped at Keys View to look out over the valley where Palm Springs, Indio, La Quinta is located. All the mountain peaks had fresh snow caps. We then walked out to Barker Dam where John was sure I was trying to punish him by making him walk the loop trail! On the drive back to camp we stopped for a quick photo op at the Cholla Cactus Garden.
