3 representatives of the Mojave Desert; the silver cholla, the creosote bush and the Joshua tree #CAStateParks #SaddlebackButte #silvercholla #creosotebushes #Joshuatrees #parks #trails #camping #PRMDIA

Several of our Joshua trees are budding and blooming. Joshua trees don't bloom every year, so it feels special when it happens. #castateparks #saddlebackbutte #Joshuatrees #mojavedesert #trails #hiking #camping
