Joshua Tree
A vacation in the Palm Springs area wouldn’t be complete with a side trip to the Joshua Tree National Park.
Lots of rocks:

We can’t forget the creepy Skull Rock:

So where is the actual Joshua tree?
Its omission is duly noted and has been corrected, sir!
Thanks!
I have spent much time there in the Joshua Tree National Monument. Nice to see the pictures. I should make the pilgrimage again some time. My grandparents are buried there, in Yucca Valley.
