Cycling the Desert

Some highlights of our ride so far:
On the Santa Ana River Trail en route to Chino Hills State Park
Entering one of the most magical places on Earth
Tess finds a new home in Joshua Tree's canyons
Hardest decision of the day: which crack to climb in this monzogranite wonderland
Rich and Janice Langen saved the day (again) with their endless support and melodies! 
On the lookout for the elusive Chuckwalla lizard 
The Joshua Tree, Yucca brevifolia, is found mostly in the Mojave Desert between 1,300 and 5,900 ft elevation 
Cholla cactus garden in Pinto Basin 
Barrel Cactus like this grew along our route from Joshua Tree through Anzo Borrego
