Sun, Apr 3: Joshua Tree National Monument

On our way to Arizona, we drove through Joshua Tree National Monument, spending most of day there. Very pretty Yucca plants, lots of rock formations,. We took a couple of short hikes.

Petroglyphs.

We stopped at an overlook over Coachella Valley. You can see the San Andreas fault (the ridge running down the valley).

Mon, Apr 4: Imperial Sand Dunes and Organ Pipe National Monument

Drove past the Salton Sea, and took a quick stop at the Imperial Sand Dunes.

And then stopped in Yuma for lunch. We were disappointed in their historical section, as it was in the 1950’s and not historical to us :-), instead of the old west that we had expected.
