joshua tree and phoenix

Monday 16th July 2018
Today we left Palm Springs headed for Phoenix Arizona.  We were gong to drive through Joshua Tree National Park on the way.  It really is a detour that adds a couple of hours to the trip but well worth it.  The day was beautiful but quite warm.  We did do a couple of walks one being Hidden Valley which is a loop that takes about 40 minutes.  The walk was nice albeit a bit hot. From there we drove up to Keys View which looks back over Coachella Valley and gives good views of the Salton Sea and Palm Springs in the distance.  The last stop was skull rock and another short walk to face rock.  Back in the car and then about a 5 hour trip to the next motel just out of Phoenix.  Got checked in then off to Applebees for dinner.  Got some drinks and chocolate from Walmart and then back to the motel.  Tomorrow we are going to the Pima Air and Space Museum at Tucson.
