Joshua Tree NP { Spring Break Camping }

Over my spring break, Brian and I went camping at Joshua Tree. (A couple of weeks before, we went to check out some campsites and picked a real nice one in Black Rock.) We knew the weather was going to be a bit cold but we didn't expect to set up camp while it was snowing! Our first night, we froze. I have never been so cold! I think the wind chill brought the temperature to 20 degrees! Well, it felt like it! The next day was warm and beautiful. We road along the Geology Tour Road, Desert Queen Mine and Queen Valley Roads. We also hiked to Barker Dam. We had a great time! Here are a few snaps.
