Description
The hidden valley loop in Joshua Tree National Park is a great example of a diverse desert habitat: it has juniper, oak, pinyon, mesquite and of course, Joshua trees. For a popular trail, it was surprisingly quiet on this September evening when this photo was taken. It makes for a great evening hike in Joshua Tree national park - there's even a campground almost right next to it.
The hidden valley loop has an interesting history too, as the interpretive park sign will tell you when you start the hike: believe it or not, cows used to graze here, at one point. Bill Keys blasted a hole through the rocks so the cows he owned could venture out here.
I spent a good few minutes enjoying the serenity and solitude near this tree - it's easy to lose track of time as you spend time pondering over how much time has passed since this tree was once alive.
