I wonder how people will cope who live in places where the only water is brought in from other places.

I think you were wise to park where you did and perhaps avoid some of the crowds.

Re drought. I now live in Colorado, front range area. We had the longest summer on record and it's still much much hotter in December than ever. About 75 yesterday. In December is not normal. We've had almost NO rain nor snow and lots of states rely on our snow pack for water. WE rely on it too. We've lived here 3 years and this is not a good trend, such a big change in one year. Climate change impacted from humans, has changed our weather and I believe scientists. I just expected it to gradually change, not flip a switch like this. <br />For the past 3 years we had snow October through June 1st... only a fleeting flurry so far this year...

The scenery is so very different from what we see here in New England. Love the brilliant blue skies.

I know that many were destroyed in the conflagrations of the summer, so it's reassuring to know that not all perished. There is a dichotomy that, while applauding visits to natural areas, too much attention can be counter-productive. It doesn't take much for natural areas to get trampled and degraded, and there is often a problem with litter left behind. If you are like me, you hope for at least a degree of solitude in these places, and the presence of so many people hardly permits that. I am glad, however, that you took the opportunity to immerse yourself in this fascinating place, a unique part of the American west, and the patrimony of all the world. Hugs from Ontario.

I have never heard of Joshua trees before. The additional information was also very informative, thanks. Hard to think it was so warm there when it's so cold here! Dry heat is always easier to tolerate, but s you say, you need to keep hydrated. Love the pic of you leaning on the tree!
