An early start had us in Joshua Tree National Park in time to secure a nice secluded site in the Jumbo Rocks campground.  The 794,000 acres park has less than 500 sites and we knew they would fill quickly on this holiday weekend.

With our base of operation established, we set out to visit the park and made several 1-mile hikes to visit Hidden Valley, Arch Rock, White Tanks, Barker’s Dam, Keys View, and Cap Rock.
