We parked at the
Hidden Valley trail head.
There are oversize parking
spots for RVs.
A narrow gap in the rocks leads to a valley where cattle rustlers hid their booty in
the late 1800s.
Just months before Joshua Tree
National Monument opened
in 1936, Bill Keys blasted an
opening into Hidden Valley.
Eric points to a large gap
in the rocks.
Oh no!
An ogre is trying to
eat Eric!
This rock ringed valley allowed
moisture to collect here,
creating a unique micro climate.
The Pinyon Pine provides
seeds for the park's
birds & chipmunks.
Eric reclines in a "rock recliner."
Retirement is hard work!
He sees praying hands
among the rocks.
The left hand is wearing
a mitten.
I see a figure sitting with
its head to it's chest
among the rocks.
The Hidden Valley Nature Trail is a one mile loop. It was a beautiful hike.
