Barker Dam Nature Trail 1.3 miles

1.3 Mile loop trail

Water in Barker Dam after the Monsoon rains.

Reflections on the water

An sunrise hike  in Joshua Tree National Park was so awesome! The trail was full of
wildlife and at waters edge you could easily fine the Red Spotted
Frog.

Low water, but great reflects on a sunrise hike 1/10/2016.

In 1938 congress pasted the "Baby Homestead Act"

ROCK PILES JOSHUA TREE



Rock Piles of Joshua Tree
 

The numerous rock piles of Joshua Tree National Park are

impressive to photograph.

 

Rock Piles Joshua Tree National Park, North

 

The North boundary area offers great single track trails hiking.

Photographing the rock piles is a great way to exercise.

Big fluffy storm clouds are best background.

 

Rock Piles Shapes,



 Walking in Desert View Conservation Area offers some

awesome  rock shapes.

 

 

 

Plan your visit to Joshua Tree. Grab the hiking

gear, water bottles and visit the trails.

Storm Clouds on the Mojave Desert

The storm clouds over the Mojave desert produce

awesome photos!

 

Joshua Tree National Park

The rock piles of JTNP  mixed with sunrise

clouds. I have come to enjoy those early morning hikes

before sunrise with the trusted LED Headlamp. Plan a

day hike in JTNP and photograph a  Mojave Desert print.

 

 

Monsoon season on the Mojave Desert

 

Keep the Canon camera by your side at all times.

 

 

Mid day walk in section "6", good hiking shoes are

advisable. Water is a must have!  I recommend using

a camelback, always carry water. 

 

Due to the vastness of desert I love the dividing

lines. Look closely and see the line of rain.
