We made it to the desert in time to see the last week of desert bloom. Stunning spots of colour dot the otherwise grey, brown, and green desert. Our friend Ryan drove out from San Diego to camp with us in Joshua Tree Park and in Sedona, Arizona. While driving in to Joshua Tree, looking for a campsite, Ben spotted this hole in a rock. Hours later during a random hike across the desert floor, Ryan found the hole! Joshua Trees have a look all their own. On our way to Sedona we saw our first tumble weed and 4 Dust Devils (wind twisters of sand). We drove through one that crossed the road and felt the bike blow one way and then the other before the wind disappeared. Once in Sedona we camped out next to a river and in the morning found our way to the Bell Tower Vortex for a hike. The Vortexes are areas of supposedly stronger energy that flows and twists in a vortex. Juniper bushes and trees close to the vortex areas actually grow in a twisted manner. No matter what the energy in these areas is actually like, the Red Rocks are absolutely stunning either way! We'll be heading for the Grand Canyon in a couple of days once the weather clears up a bit as folks are driving into Sedona mentioning snow and cold from up north.
