Mormon settlers nicknamed the tree “the Joshua” because it looked like a human-like form and reminded them of the biblical Joshua reaching up to the sky. #joshuatree #nationalpark #california #wheretomabe Hidden Valley was blasted open by cattle rustlers to hide their stolen cattle. There’s a lot of things to see in this 1-mile trail including this amazing tree. #joshuatree #nationalpark #california #wheretomabe Skull Rock is a great spot to stargaze. This photo was taken at one of the parking spot on the main road in front of Skull Rock. We even saw a shooting star or two! #joshuatree #nationalpark #california #wheretomabe Hall of Horrors is a popular destination for scrambling and rock climbing. We didn't see any climbers but we did find some cool rock formations like this one. Would you be willing to go under this rock for a photo? #joshuatree #nationalpark #california #wheretomabe Trio is located in the fashionable uptown design district in Palm Spring. We love their fried artichoke appetizer which is crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Their pork chop was also really good with apple and local date chutney. #palmspring #california #wheretoeatmabe Barker Dam is also known as Big Horn Dam, constructed by early cattlemen in 1900. This is a 1.5-mile trail that takes you to the dam. Along the trail, you will see large rock formation like this one and maybe a bighorn sheep, greater roadrunner, or even a rattlesnake. #joshuatree #nationalpark #california #wheretomabe Happy Friday! What are you doing this weekend? I am dreaming and wishing I could go back to this beautiful sunset in Joshua Tree National Park. We drove to multiple spots in the park that night to see different sunset views. My new blog post is up with more information on our adventure in Joshua Tree. #joshuatree #nationalpark #california #wheretomabe Cholla Cactus Garden has a .25 mile easy loop trail where all you'll see are these cute teddy bear cholla. The cactus reminds me of underwater corals. I recommend coming here right around sunrise or sunset where the cholla will look like they are glowing. This was one of my favorite stops in Joshua Tree National Park. A blog will posted this week! #joshuatreenationalpark #california #wheretomabe If you’re looking to see inside one of La Jolla’s caves, you can join a guided kayak tour or go to La Jolla cave store where there is a tunnel that leads you to Sunny Jim Sea Cave observation deck. #lajolla #sandiego #california #wheretomabe Balboa Park is a 1,200-acre park that has several gardens, museums, theaters, the San Diego Zoo, and even this Spanish Village Art Center.
