joshua tree

We finally made it out to Joshua Tree this year on our Palm Springs visit, and man was it lovely. I think I could have spent an entire day exploring the park, but my five year old, however, was content with the 3 hours we had planned.

We hiked the Hidden Valley loop and Barker’s Dam, which were both lovely and easy enough for the kiddo. We only saw one hint of wildlife (a roadrunner), but we were ok with that since tarantulas and rattle snakes were a big concern for Ezra.

Overall though, climbing on the huge boulders was fun for everyone, and I highly suggest this for a family trip. Enjoy the photos!
