Joshua Tree National Park: North Canyon Loop Trail
After we emptied our bladders and filled up our water bottles, we crossed into Joshua Tree National Park to hike the North Canyon Loop, a trail I found on the All Trails app. It wasn’t advertised on the National Park Service’s app or on any of the paper maps.

Absolute peace on what is typically the busiest days of the year in Joshua Tree.
