Entrance to the Wonderland of Rocks at Joshua Tree National Park.
And a close-up of dead panicle of a Joshua tree.
And indentations in a granite boulder.

Moving rocks

Joshua Tree National Park, boulder formations in the Mojave Desert portion. All these shots were taken out the passenger window of a moving car.


(This fourth one is near the entrance to the Ryan Mountain trail head.)

Hiding the rocks

In Joshua Tree National Park, in the Hidden Valley campground, there's this granite boulder formation. (Yes, all the shots in this post are different angles of the same formation.)

On the rocks

In the same rocks from this post at Joshua Tree National Park these colorful bits of whatever this is. These shots were taken with my camera by my talented fiancee.



Quiet on Joshua Tree's western front

In Joshua Tree National Park, just a short distance in from the west entrance, there's an indistinct spot with a pulloff from the road. A few hundred feet from the road is a pile of granite rocks which is not necessarily any more interesting than all of the other granite rocks in the park, but on an early Wednesday morning in September it was a spectacular place to be. Without another person as far as the eye could see and the sun still low in the sky, it proved to be where we spent the most time. All these shots were taken near or on those rocks.
