The clear skies in our photo come in the wake of some serious Mojave Desert rains. It's not often you'll find the Barker Dam reservoir full of water, but if you do, you're likely in the company of bighorn sheep and other wildlife seeking a sip. Even when the watering hole is dry, the trails around the dam attract boulderers to a buffet of prime problems—one of many hotspots among Joshua Tree National Park's many mounds of monzogranite.
陡峭、纯粹的美景
被一分为二的城市
没那么烂
一组奇怪的石头
这难道是天外来客的座椅?
沙漠还是甜点?
天然“教堂”
荒地上的美好时光
