view from Keys View-Joshua tree National Park

On this clear day in December we could see the Coachella Valley, Indio, and the Salton Sea, all the way to Signal Mountain in Mexico, 100 miles away.

horses in Joshua Tree National Park

There are plenty of riding trails in JTNP, but rarely do you see horses. We met this Orange County family who were camping in a horse-zoned site. I learned that Dad is part of the Anaheim police department mounted division. Happy Trails!
