hiking Ryan Mountain in Joshua Tree National Park

[@AmericasParks]

There sure is a uniqueness with the Joshua Tree rock formations. I've heard people disparage this park - but I've always been impressed and have enjoyed myself when visiting. Nice that you can endure those warmer temps. Interesting video testimony and cameo appearance!

[@potatothorn]

yeah those rounded rock piles are really something else... people are upset that it gets crowded- i say go in summer, or Hike away from the road a little and it i easy to escape the crowds... However i do laugh endlessly at the way the "town" of Joshua Tree is full of LA hipsters hhahaha// a lot tp make fun of over there haha/ Glad you enjoy it, and yeah it is fun to pop into the scene occasionally haha

Beautiful views 👍 Very cool to have a trail like that almost to yourselves!

[@potatothorn]

that other group was going down as we went up so literally about 1 minute of others on the trail for the 2 hours or so we were on it .. so nice! glad you like it

I’ve been to JTNP a few times this year but I always skip Ryan Mountain..probably I’ll save that hike in the winter and maybe I can catch some snow.

[@potatothorn]

oh you should definitely try it, the views are fantastic and it is not that tough for an experienced hiker like you

[@20robertang]

@@potatothorn I will for sure, thanks.👍

There is something so magical about Joshua tree! I have been here with friends three times. I'll keep coming here whenever I have an opportunity. Love the night sky as well. I don't know how to drive a car, a bit scared to start.

[@potatothorn]

hope you can find a ride again soon/ thanks for watching!

Nice hiking trail. Love the look of the desert. I sure am hoping in the next year or two to do some desert backpacking

[@potatothorn]

let me know when you want to come out here and meet up for a desert trip.... fly to Vegas it is cheap, all the good desert stuff is about 2hrs drive

[@BackpackingWithJason]

@@potatothorn thanks for the info 👍🏻

[@edhaynes4107]

Nice. I've got to get back to Southern California some day to do hikes such as this one.

[@potatothorn]

thanks/ this is a really nice short one/ JT is great for day hiking, so many rewarding trails that are not too difficult

[@Benjamin-David]

Very pretty! I’m not one for the crowds. I do totally do a 93 degree hike.

[@potatothorn]

it was pleasant with the breeze.. we spent the previous 5 days in 110-120s so this was a real treat/ glad you like it!
