Visting the Cholla Cactus Garden The Cholla Cactus Garden in Joshua Tree National Park is a pretty strange, unusual, and unique sight to see. Especially since you’ll be driving through vast flat land and all of a sudden there is a garden of cacti. It’s seem to appear out of the middle of nowhere! And the cool thing is guys, the cacti is growing here naturally! At the cactus garden you can walk a .25 mile trail that weaves in between thousands…

This area has so much to offer but people think they need to travel to Napa to get the real deal wine experience. And that just…

You can camp, you can glamp, you can stay in a hotel, you can rent some bizzaro tepee tents, or you can rent a house. Since I like to bring little Lemon with me and it gets rather hot out in the desert, I usually opt out of the camping option. And I’m a sucker for unique cool…
