Joshua
Tree National Park in the spring can be a magical place. Temperatures
range from the mid 30's at night to the
mid 80's in the daytime. No water sources exist in the wilderness
areas. Planning a backpacking trip has to be well thought.
On this solo trip (May 2003), I spent 3 days
and traveled 18 miles in the area of "Juniper Flats". The total weight
of my backpack at the start was 55 lbs.
