Another informative video. Even though I worked in Palmdale for many years and ran desert trails at lunchtime, I never did get to this area. This looks like a great winter hike, but I don't mean winter as in snow. Even though the area gets very little rain or snow, one should still dress for strong winds combined with cool temperatures. Hypothermia can be a problem, even in the desert.

This is one of my favorite hikes to do in the Antelope Valley. I've done it 8 or 10 times, and recommend doing it in the fall or spring. What's great about it is that you almost always have the trail to yourself as rarely is their anyone else hiking in the park. Bring plenty of water though as there is hardly any shade, save for a few Joshua Trees here and there.

I liked the lens metaphor. Seems it would've been appropriate to add -but no matter what lens you're using. just make sure it doesn't make your rig top-heavy in the wind! - I feel for you man. I think most of us have done something similar. I once dropped my camera onto a rock and into a creek in the Smoky Mountains while attempting to hand it to someone. Doh!

I lived in Southern California for over 20 years. Every weekend I would venture and discover what Califonia has to offer. I moved from California to Texas over 13 years ago, but I still visit there every year. To this date, I still have not seen everything, I would take more than a lifetime to discover that paradise.

Thanks guys! Thanks Thomas! I live in California and don-t explore it. Came across Adventure Archives in the midst of this coronavirus sickness and am so pleased to see California being explored. It gets me excited to get well and go out there and see the beauty I-ve so seriously under appreciated.

Sand blasts really do hurt your face so badly. It's one of those things that you never really think about until its happened to you, at least once. On another note, I hope this park has gotten so more love in the last 5 years or so since this video (: these places are so important to keep alive.

Thanks Thomas for making this place more well known. I have been there several times because I have an R. V. and they have a dump site there for my sewer. I did not know the info
About the name. I always wandered why it was called that & what it meant. So, thank you! -

The origin of the Joshua tree name is from settlers who were reminded of the Joshua, from the Old Testament, holding up his arms in prayer, according to wiki. Also, those are not sage brush, but Creosote bushes, very common in the deserts. Enjoyed your misadventure!

Great video, Thomas! I really enjoyed hearing your story at the end about lenses. Sometimes you can-t change your circumstances or what happened but you can choose your perspective and how you respond. Sorry about your camera. Looking forward to more side videos!
