After overnighting in Palm Springs, we were due in Twentynine Palms that evening, so instead of skirting Joshua Tree National Park, we decided to drive through it. In the end, this drive just became a reconnaissance for many future visits. The next day, instead of heading directly to Phoenix, we returned to the park for another part-day of exploring. This gallery is not meant to be even remotely complete... it is just a short version of what will later become a more detailed accounting of the wonderful diversity and beauty of this remarkable park.
