Red Rock Canyon

“[…] There are some really beautiful rock formations along the 13 mile loop, but most are brown/white and only about 5% are actually red rocks […] The day [we] went the winds were at 70 MPH, so we had a very difficult time getting out of the vehicle safely. If you’re planning to hike or take a lot of photos definitely check the wind speeds, as they make it virtually impossible to get out of the car.”

Joshua Tree National Park

“Ugly and the hiking sucks.  […] Definitely will never be back.  I’m just shocked that this place gets the high reviews, I guess everyone is smoking too much dope.”

-David W., Yelp

“When I went camping at Joshua Tree, it was in the winter time and it was very,  very cold.  I still remember the howling winds blowing against our tents and how i wished we were sleeping inside the cars.”
