We parked the RV’s in the  29 Palms RV park just outside of Joshua Tree National Park.  This allowed us ready access to the park and we could leave the ATV trailers.  ATVs are not allowed in the park and there is not enough room to park an RV and trailer at most attractions.

Four mile hike to the Lost Horse Mine.  This strike was reportedly found when a man was searching for his “LOST” horse.  Various legends exist.

This is the official version Johnny Lang and Lost Horse mine

Hidden Valley

This valley was used by cattle rustlers to hide their spoils in this 55 acre enclosed valley.

This place is excellent for “Boulder”ing.  There were many climbers using ropes and climbing and swinging on these boulders.  There is a climber on the top of the middle boulder.  They had roped down and swung into the cave.
