We went to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park for the 3 day weekend. We camped out in the desert and went hiking during the day. We had a blast!! The pictures are kind of out of order but I've labeled them.
Our campsite at an area of the park called Black Rock Canyon.
There are huge rock formations all over the park. They just seem to rise out of the desert.
The Joshua trees at night as seen from our campsite. :)
We drove through a big part of the park to see the groves of Joshua trees. 
This is called Arch Rock and it is a naturally occurring rock formation.
Fulfilling my dream of going to Joshua Tree!
We took a 3 mile hike to a REAL oasis in the desert. There was a spring underground that fed a small pond where they palm trees grew. Everything surrounding the oasis was rocky mountain and very hot and dry.
This is the oasis from farther away. You can see how it just springs out of the desert.
Before we set up camp in Joshua Tree we stopped in Palm Springs. This is the "Honeymoon House" where Elvis and Priscilla lived for a year after they got married. Notice the treble clefs on the gate.
