My First Visit to Joshua Tree
MY FIRST VISIT TO JOSHUA TREE
My first visit to Joshua Tree was always going to be followed by a super photo heavy blog post. Within reason of course. I’ll save everyone the agony of an endless slideshow of vacation photos from a trip you never went on. My love for the desert continues to blossom (much like the Picacho Super Bloom). The rocks, foliage, and sand make for an interesting combination of textures. I can see why Gram Parsons was so into Joshua Tree – it’s beyond magical.

THE CHOLLA GARDEN
One of my favourite parts of the park was the Cholla Garden. Since this original post, I’ve been back a number of times. The best vantage point, in my opinion is Keys View. Check that out in my Joshua Tree is Heaven on Earth post. There’s so many great spots throughout the park that you can’t go wrong.

A day wasn’t enough and I vow to make yet another pilgrimage so that I may spend the night in the Joshua Tree Inn – pay my respects to GP. [UPDATE: Staying at the Joshua Tree Inn did happen for me!] If you have no idea who Gram Parsons or the Flying Burrito Brothers are, GET ON IT. Cosmic American Music should be cherished by all. In the meantime, I’ll have a Hot Burrito #1.
