The night before I slept in Indio, a small city in the desert. It was really hot, during the night still 38 degrees. And a constant dry hot wind like someone blowing a hairdryer into my face. I slept with aircondition, tried to sleep without but gave up at 3 o´clock in the morning. I entered the parc from the south, the scenery looked like this:
In the parc I saw many funny rock formations . This one is called split rock
And this was my favorite, called skull rock. Very obvious name ;-)
On one place they had a beautiful cactus garden.
And this is the Josua tree, a tree of life, which gave the parc its name. It stores water inside and feeds a lot of animals with its seeds. The birds are nesting inside it.
I really liked this parc, unfortunately is was too hot to do some longer hikes there. I underestimated the sun and got a light sunburn. I used sunscreen but it was not strong enough.
