We made our last visit to Joshua Tree Park today. Desert super blooms are rare because they require consistent, well-timed rain. So our three months of cooler weather with more rain and wind than normal has paid off!!
Every time we return, we find more flowers - the previously few canterbury bells are now everywhere and we found a few new varieties. The day was cool - 14 degrees (60 F) which are perfect for hiking. We walked about two miles starting from the Cottonwood Oasis and talked to many fellow hikers comparing beautiful sights.
