Joshua Tree National Park

One of the things Darrell wanted to do when we were in California was go to Joshua Tree National Park.  Thanks to Tyler's 4th grade National Park pass, we got in free.

On the way we had to take a picture of the exit for Tyler Street.



We had a picnic lunch at the visitor center before heading into the park.

The trees and scenery at Joshua Tree Park were so unique!  The kids loved climbing all over the rocks.
