One of my favorite hikes in Joshua Trees National Park – the Hidden Valley Nature Trail. It’s a one-mile loop that allows you to experience the variety of the Mojave Desert.
We took 2 hours to complete the short (1-mile) trail as there was so much to see (and photograph). I love framing the shot with the unique and interesting background with some of the desert foliage in the foreground. This is one of my favorite photos from that hike.
