more!
this was taken in one of the little stream valleys that dot the landscape during the wet season. we were there at the very end of it so most sources of water had dried up already but the plant life was gorgeous. this may have been approaching the summit of some hill, can't really tell from the perspective. as you can see, however, the vegetation tends to hang around the lower areas of the hills and in the shady areas. i managed to take this picture through a mild fifty mph breeze. coachella valley below is about four thousand feet beneath my line of sight and thirty miles away. and the mountain in the distance? oh, that's only about sixty miles away. for s&g's. i'm on the left. looking back now that may have been one of the best parks i've been to. there were almost no other people, no goddamn tourists (except us teehee) or concessions stands (thank god for that) and only two roads through the park, but plenty of opportunity to leave yer car and get lost. i can honestly say i fell in love with the desert after that.

Incredible pics, guys! Those are both some of the coolest looking places on Earth for sure. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe I've been to Death Valley and Joshua Tree before as I used to live in California. I'm sure I've been to Sequoia National Park, that was awesome.

I need to take a year or so off and go back there. Not just Joshua Tree or Death Valley; I've heard the Mojave is beautiful, and there are places in Mexico which I'd love to go to if the political climate weren't so volatile.
