Joshua National Park - October 16-19 2008






Dave at the Twenty Nine Palms Entrance to the park.









One of the larger Joshua Trees we saw.


Unusual Rock Formation















Kathy by the Sign at the base of Ryan's Mountain











Going up the Ryan's Mountain Trail. It was pretty steep.











Kathy at the Summit!









A couple views from the top. You can see the road down below.




Dave at the Summit

On the trail on the way down. Pretty rocky - watch those ankles!

Barker Dam sign


Although there were more plants in the area, unfortunately the pool behind the dam was dry.


You can see the old water lines that show how high the water has been in the past.


Dave next to another Joshua Tree

On the 49 Palms Oasis Trail. Can you see the Palm trees in the distance?





Here they are a little closer.










Some Boy Scouts at the 49 Palms Oasis. Water!



The view back down the Canyon from the 49 Palms Oasis.
