One of the things that we enjoy is visiting our countries National Parks and Monuments. We recently visited Joshua Tree NP which has been on our [list of living] places for a very long time. It’s kind of funny, we are from California, San Diego specifically, but we have not visited this NP in the past, hell we haven’t visiting many places in California, but ask us about Arizona, Utah, Oregon or any of the other Western states and we can talk for hours. We plan to visit many more amazing places in California over the coming year as we get around the state we have lived in most of our lives lol. One of the highlights of the trip was taking a driving tour from Cottonwood Campgound to the main visitor center on the other side of the park which was a 42 mile drive. Along that drive there are Exhibit Points that explain the history, flora and fauna of the NP. On this drive you can see part of the sheer magnitude of this beautiful park and also the diversity of the landscape which really has to be seen to be appreciated. This area has a deep and rich cultural history to it that is not readily known. If you’re in the area for any period of time I would say check out Joshua Tree National Park, it just may surprise you!
