Some of the granite rock formations were very unusual.
This particular rock was called Skull Rock.
Wildlife was plentiful. On several occasions we saw blacktailed jackrabbits. They appear early in the morning and late in the day. Look at those ears!
These little beasts are very timid and extremely agile. They can run up to 30 miles an hour.
Ann spotted this coyote on a rock along the Geology Tour Road on the way back from Pleasant Valley.
This is a Gambel's quail. Not a very good picture, but a very colorful bird. If you look closely, you can see his red cap with a plume on it. Ann thinks they look like drum majors.
A fine specimen of a Joshua Tree.
Some areas of the park had fairly heavy stands of Joshua Trees.
On Geology Tour Road. Eighteen miles of ever-changing scenery.
