Forty Nine Palms Oasis












Wow! How cool that these places actually exist! It was a pretty easy downhill trail to get here- I ate lunch, did some POI, and climbed around on the rocks around the palms. It was cool and shady- leaving to return to an uphill desert trail was not easy but I made it out:) Some of the trees were on fire when the area had some recent wildfire- I found it amazing that trees that had obviously been on fire were growing right next to trees of the same size that looked as if they never been around a fire! The entire afternoon was enchanting- except for when this little lizard came running at me! I think he was camera shy!
