#Daydream: Plutonic Passageway in Joshua Tree National Park

We know how it is. You’re stuck at your desk and the day seems to be going on forever.

…Plutonic Passageway in Joshua Tree National Park!!! This park is famous for its trees, hence the name. But it has a lot more to offer. There’s the constant sunshine, geckos, roadrunners, and jackrabbits, and you might even see a rattlesnake! The sunrises and sunsets are our favorite part; they have a way of enhancing the already stunning landscape into a visual experience you are sure to remember. Disclaimer: The heat can rise well above 100 °F in the summer, so you will want to stay hydrated and bring plenty of sunscreen. You could also go in the spring or fall when the temperature is almost perfect.
