The eastern half of Joshua Tree National Park, which is below 3,000 feet above sea level, lies within the Colorado Desert. Creosote dominates this sun-baked bowl, punctuated here and there by spidery ocotillo, green-barked palo verde, and patches of jumping cholla cactus. We traveled southeast through the park and then went east on I10 into Arizona. We stopped for the night at the Saddle Mountain RV Park, which was full of palm trees. What an amazing oasis in the desert, with a beautiful sunset.
