Joshua Tree National Park

Yoshua Tree NP was amazing! This park lies in the transition zone between the Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert. It is really difficult to describe the trees, but the branches grow, reaching up toward heaven. We decided to go to Black Rock Canyon to go on a hiking trail. However, nobody was there and we were the only ones. We started to hike, but there were even no signs of a specific trail. At a certain moment, we decided to go back to our car because otherwise there was a big chance that we would get lost. We drove a little further into the Park and the views were amazing. The park has wonderfully shaped rock outcroppings and you can see the Yoshua trees along the horizon. Luckily there were some shorter hiking trails that were better indicated. But we drove rather fast through this park, because it was already getting dark very early. We decided to drive the 4 1/2 hour drive to Vegas. Vegas here we come!!! (Ps. there's only 1 picture due to technical difficulties, sorry)
