Itinerary description
A nice canyon, with flowers in early March.
Hike up the sandy wash North.
The first part is easy, later on there are more and more boulders.
Two slightly difficult passages "Boulder 1/2".
Pass them right (first) and left (second).
Lots of flowers, early in March 2012.
The pictures
How to get here:
Take the Exit toward the Joshua Tree South Entrance.
Just before the Joshua Tree Sign, turn left (about 1 Mile), just below the dike.
Make sure you drive the road closest to the dike. (below, South).
Drive for about 1.8 mile and park.
You should be able to drive the dirt road by any car, most of the time.
