Joshua Tree

After our loop through Arizona, Jen and I crossed back into southern California for the second time in nine months and found ourselves back in Joshua tree, camped just a few sites from where we were at in April.

This place is amazing. The hang is great, the rock is (mostly) great, and the weather was perfect. With a fresh tick list from a few friends, Jen and I spent a handful of days ticking off some moderate classics that we had never been on. We for sure would have stayed much longer, but we had to run back up to Red Rocks to meet some friends for Christmas.
