| Celebrating our wedding anniversary (St. Patricks Day) sometimes includes a trip to Las Vegas. From Palm Springs there are several ways to get there. We chose to forgo the interstates and took the much less traveled road north through Mojave National Preserve. If you do this drive, fill up with gas and bring lots of water. It's 1.6 million acres of volcanic cinder domes and mountains, sand dunes and a magical joshua tree forest. |
 |
| Formed by blowing golden rose quartz crystals from dried lake beds, the isolated Kelso Sand Dunes rise 600' from the high desert. You can take a dirt road out there to hike on the trails. |
 |
| The roller coaster road went on for hours....speed limit 55 but who is checking? Weeeeeeee |
 |
| We had to google these to make sure, but yes, they are Joshua Trees, and we were driving through the world's largest concentration of them, all in bloom with white flower tips. Not the best picture, but they are growing across the valley up to the bottom of yonder mountain. |
