Taking a hike

Because it was still quite hot, we went for an hour long hike pretty much first thing in the morning. Joshua Tree National Park is huge, with lots of different kinds of hikes, so you can pick and choose what you fancy and feel up to. I can't remember what this one was called, but it was really beautiful, and so quiet. The rocks in Joshua Tree are really easy to climb, it's almost as if they were covered in Velcro, so we could get off the paths and easily climb higher up and get more of a view. And what a view! It made us think of what we imagine Mars to be bit like... The last picture is from a view point that you can drive to above Coachella Valley - we didn't climb that high!
