Such a beautiful, strange and almost otherworldly place. We used to go there a lot, because my mother-in-law actually lived in the village of Joshua Tree. We'd stay at the Harmony Motel in Twentynine Palms (actually where U2 stayed when doing the promotional filming for the album) and just enjoy the strange beauty of the place.
The rocks definitely are amazing... I bet your kids liked "Skull Rock," if you made it there.
yeah, this place was absolutely mobbed, so I didn't post this picture :)
Wow, that's crazy! I don't think I've ever seen that many people there... in at least 20+ visits.
its well more than 20. The place is not on the map. Plus this was Christmas day. 2 hours drive from LA doesn't help it either. Way too many people compared to 20 years back when I visited.
