Apr 20, 2009 Written by Mike

Recent trip to Joshua Tree: Old rock faces and alien places. Ofad members Mike & Michelle explore the passage of leisure in the Mojave Dessert. Three days in Joshua Tree National Park will do anyone a bit of silence.

hi there, great photos. i'm planning on making a trip to joshua tree as part of a round trip, SF to LA to Yosemite to SF and was wondering about camping in JT. We're going to be in a small van and was wondering if it's ok to just roll up and stay there or do you need to book space in advance

First come first serve, It's an epic spot but also an epic climbing spot so the sites fill up with climbers. So get there before the weekend is my Suggestion.
