It was a hot day, 120 F, of hiking in the Joshua Tree National Park.
Thank you for stopping in for a visit. Your visits lift my spirits. Stay safe and well out there in the CCE. Peace, love, and joy.

That boulder is very impressive! I wonder if it rolled there off of a mountain?

More likely the action of ancient plate tectonics (think earthquakes) combined with water — https://jameskaiser.com/joshua-tree-guide/geology/. They really are impressive, and people come from everywhere to see them.

Ah, I don’t have much experience with those kind of rocks. The boulders around here were dropped by glaciers.

I think Joshua Tree is a little too far south to have had glaciers — it’s on a line with Los Angeles.

All the mountains there were made up of rocks similar to this. Huge piles of boulders. We were on top of a mountain when I took this picture.

Be careful, JR — people have died hiking in the heat in Joshua Tree National Park. It’s a spectacular place, but demands respect! And it’s a standing joke that you don’t want to sit on the cholla (cactus)! That distance view is beautiful — is that also in the Joshua Tree area?

It was too hot. We were guzzling water.

It WAS too hot the day you were at Joshua Tree — something over 120 degrees out there! I’m glad you had enough water to guzzle! 🙂

We planned ahead. lol. We shouldn’t have been there.

Jumping cholla cactus. It’s not just well armed-it’s aggressive. The little kid looks finished. 🙂 ❤
