JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK

Skull Rock is one of many bizarre rock formations in the park.
a HUGE dry desert , Joshua tree in the foreground (actually a type of Yucca) and a snowy peak in the background. Keys West is quite a vantage point.
A Joshua tree forest in the desert.


Joshua tree up close, dried blossoms gone by.


Joshua trees and rock hills.




Sure looks like a tree to me.


Wierd rock formations and desert flowers.


Denny, Karen and Paul as we start on our hike to Fortynine Palms Oasis. (just 1.5 miles?????)


Natural desert Palms at the oasis.


Denny explores the oasis.

Our chauffer, always smiling!



Up close and personal: Denny and the Chuckwalla.


Chuckwalla, giving me the "eye."


I like Chuckwallas.
