It's coming on two years now since my last trip to Joshua Tree National Park. In fact, that was actually my first and only trip! I know... I know... how can I call myself a true climber when I live in Southern California and have only been to Joshua Tree once. Truthfully, I don't like the thought of it either. My trip to Joshua Tree was definitely the best rock climbing experience I have ever had. The amount of routes is unbelievable and each one offered something different. For those of you who have been to Joshua Tree, I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. Of course, the incredible climbing is not all that Joshua Tree has to offer. The landscape is simply amazing and quite impressive. You're standing right in the middle of the high desert with huge rock formations surrounding you. All you have to do is take a few steps in any direction and you'll find something to climb.
