Joshua Tree National Park



Wednesday, May 2nd:

We took a drive up into the Joshua Tree NP today. This odd lookinng thing is a Joshua tree. It is not a tree, but a member of the Lilly and Yucca families. Notice the white flowers and green buds on top of the branches. They are primarily a the higher altitudes in the park and we didn't see them until we passed about 3000 feet and the higher we went the more prolific they were.
