JOSHUA TREE: It's a National Park for a reason!  Beautiful desert landscape with...you guessed it...Joshua Trees and amazing rock formations everywhere.  The rock here is very sticky and provides great climbs for both beginner and advanced climbers, as well as some really fun shorter multipitches. The town of "JTREE" is super funky with lots of little shops, some good coffee and food options, and a couple of outdoor stores.   CAMP LIFE: We are pleased to be staying at The Crash Pad in Joshua Tree. They offer a host of amenities and the option to upgrade to a cabin should you chose not to camp.  We will be in a few adjacent campsites with plenty of room for you to pitch a tent or car camp. There are several Picnic tables, gas fire pits and chairs, a sauna, cold plunge tub, hot showers and a bbq there. There is cell service at the campground and well water.  Please bring your own water if you prefer not to drink well water. *If you have any questions about accommodations, please check their website or get in touch with us.   WHAT TO BRING: Camping gear- sleeping bag, pad, tent, camp chair Clothing- Shoulder season can be very hot...or cool, depending on the weather at the time.
