Joshua Tree for NYE

February 17, 2016February 17, 2016 by toastedbunz, posted in Uncategorized

Clearly, this post is a little overdue! A few girlfriends and I went to Joshua Tree for a few days around New Years. This was all of our first trips to JT and it had been long overdue. We were so excited to head to the desert and the landscape did not disappoint.

First sunset in Joshua Tree! Snow on the ground still. It was frigid.

The campsite where we stayed, Joshua Tree Lake. Camp hosts were very nice and friendly. 38 degrees at 5:45 PM All of JT Park campgrounds were full.

Chels can build a mean fire! She was a genius and had saved toilet paper rolls and lint as fire starter. It worked splendidly. Would recommend saving this for your next camping trip.

I think this may be the first time I actually watched the moon rise up in the sky – it was a amazing.

Joshua TREES

Skull rock!

On the top of Ryan Mountain! A short exhilarating hike.

Chels found a nice little natural bench to have an after lunch siesta.

The cholla cactus garden was a truly cool and unique site to see.

Enjoying the last sunset of 2015!

Later JT ready to conquer 2016, refreshed and renewed!
