Hiking the Skull Rock Trail

This post was dictated by Caroline:

On Saturday morning, we got up and jumped in the Beast. We drove up the mountain and almost no one else was there in Joshua Tree National Park. It was warm and sunny, but not too hot. We climbed a bunch of rocks and had so much fun! Sometimes we were on the trail, but other times we were climbing on rocks or going through prickly bushes. 

Sarah says funny things while she hikes.  She is a pretty good hiker, but after a while, she gets tired so Dad puts her in the baby backpack so she can take a nap.

We also went up some rocks that were so steep that we had to go down the backside because we couldn't go down the way we went up. 

While we were off the trail, hiking around the rocks, we found a cave where we ate lunch. 

We found a big huge flat, slanted rock that went up to a big cliff where we took silly pictures and marched around, playing trumpets.

After hiking more than 2 miles, we got to Skull Rock at the very end of the trail. Then we got in the Beast and drove to the farmers market in Joshua Tree before we went home.
