J-Tree is a wonderland of rocks. It is located in southern California about a 4 hour drive from here. This is a good place to go on a long weekend.
Hiking trails exist in abundance and the potential for adventure is limitless. Moonlit excursions are recommended. The park was originally a haven for the unique and rare Joshua tree, a tree resembling something out of Dr. Seuss' imagination. The park is in the Mojave desert, which is a bit different from the Sonoran we are familiar with here in the valley. The transition on the drive is interesting. I prefer the northern road. Its much more primitive and therefore scenic. Make sure to bring lots of fire wood as there is none in the park. For an exciting adventure partake in the old J-Tree initiation and pass through "the chasm". You should go with someone who knows the path. Ask around in the campground. Map Quest for driving direc
tions. Enterence free with national parks pass.
