Day 202 - Sat 15 Feb 2020 - More bouldering


We head back into Joshua Tree National Park for another day of bouldering fun. The park straddles two distictly different desert landscapes and ecosystems. We start off at the other end of the park this time. The East end is the Mohave desert which is higher, dryer and flatter. We do a quick walk around a cactus 'garden'. Even though it's called teddy bear cactus, there is no cuddling here..


Back to the Colorado desert with its rugged rock formations. Ready, set, climb!!



Finding a way through



We do some walks to named rock formations. Here is Skeleton Rock


We spot more cactus wrens and a desert squirrel (which looks like a chipmunk), the cutest little thing.


What a fun day! We go back with sore legs from all the climbing.

Today: 115km - 2h10m
Total: 24,323km - 472h28m
