Joshua Tree National Park




We took a road trip on Labor Day!

The Road to Joshua Tree National Park



We NEVER go anywhere on these holidays.
What's that?... Never say never?
Okay... here is what we did!

Took a SHORT trip up the hill to, drum roll...
Joshua Tree National Park!
In Southern California.

I actually remembered to take my camera! 
But the battery was dead. 
So I took pictures with my iPhone.



The park is known for it's rock formations 
and Joshua Trees


These are HUGE rock formations





 A strange looking Joshua Tree.
Looks like it's half tree and half yucca.



The beginnings of a Joshua Tree.





MORE ROCKS!



This photo almost looks like a painting because I enhanced it. All my other photos are natural except for some cropping.





These rocks are just kind of stacked up against each other. 
You have no idea just how big they are until you get up close.
HUGE!




This one looks like a nose.






See the crow hiding between the branches?




Maybe it's a raven because it must be BIG.
Maybe it is a hawk or even an eagle?





Hellooo up there...


People come from around the world
to climb on these rocks.




I hope you enjoyed viewing these pictures. 
Not too bad for iPhone shots!


But this video is something you
won't want to miss!


Be sure to turn on your sound!
