JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK/BARKER DAM AND HIDDEN VALLEY TRAILS-EP60
We spent a day traveling from the Catalina Spa and RV Resort to tour the MASSIVE grounds of the Joshua Tree National Park. The scenery, trails and rock formations were all breathtaking. If you only have time for a minute or two of this video, watch and imagine the feeling we had when we stumbled across Keys View, shown at approx. 5:49 minutes into the episode! I STILL said Wow when Sue and I watched the final edit of this video. Wow,..

Joshua Trees along Barker Dam Nature Trail in Joshua Tree National Park, California
This footage was taken along Barker Dam Nature Trail in Joshua Tree National Park, California.
Yucca brevifolia is endemic to the Southwestern United States of America in the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah in the range of the Mojave Desert, where the plant is considered to be the key indicator species for the desert. It grows in the high desert at an altitude of 400-1,800 meters. The common name for Yucca brevifolia is the Joshua tree. It is also called the yucca palm, tree yucca, and palm tree yucca. The name Joshua tree was given to it by Mormon settlers who crossed the Mojave Desert in the 1800s.
As this is often the only tree around with any appreciable wood, it was used for timber and other purposes by the Mormons and others in the area at the time, which is a pity because like all desert trees, Joshua trees grow very slowly, although they do grow faster than a lot of other plants in the desert: 7.6 cm per year in the first 10 years, and 3.8 cm per year afterwards. The tallest trees are 15 meters tall, so if you do the math, it takes 385 years of growth for a Joshua tree to reach that height! However, Joshua tree trunks are made of thousands of small fibers and lack annual growth rings, making it hard to determine the age of these trees. Joshua trees have a top-heavy shoot system, but a deep and extensive root system that reaches up to 11 meters away from the base of the trunk.
Flowers are producing in spring from February to late April, but Joshua trees do not bloom every year, perhaps to conserve resources. Joshua trees do not branch until after they bloom or the shoot apical meristems are destroyed by the yucca-boring weevil. Joshua trees are pollinated by the yucca moth, which lays its eggs inside the flowers. The moth larvae that hatch feed on the seeds, but enough seeds are left behind to produce more trees. Joshua trees can actively abort ovaries in which too many yucca moth eggs have been laid to avoid devastating infestations!
There are concerns that Joshua trees will go extinct if significant climatic changes occur. The giant Shasta ground sloth that existed 13,000 years ago used to eats its leaves, fruits, and seeds, and is suspected to have once been a pivotal player in the distribution of Joshua tree sees. The Shasta ground sloth went extinct during the last ice age, so the Joshua tree might not be able to migrate to more favorable new desert conditions as the climate changes in the future. Although Joshua trees can reproduce by seeds, they also reproduce vegetatively through rhizomes, which are modified subterranean stems that spread out under the surface of the ground and establish new clones of the plant elsewhere. At a maximum root network radius of 11 meters, this may not seem like a fast process, but neither is significant climate change.
Roadtrip USA - Joshua Tree National Park / California I Barker Dam, Hidden Valley...
Von Los Angeles ging es direkt zum Joshua Tree Nationalpark. Ich habe die ersten Trails bezwungen und die wunderschöne Natur genossen: Keys View/Coachella Valley, Barker Dam Trail, Hidden Valley Trail...
Auf dem Indian Cove Campground war noch ein Plätzchen frei und so habe ich dort, zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben, ein Zelt aufgebaut und es hat die doch äußerst windige Nacht tatsächlich überstanden ???? Natürlich neben jeder Menge Joshua Trees und Knuffelfelsen. Der Ausblick einfach grandios!!!
Danach ging es weiter zum Grand Canyon - Zwischenstopp in Seligman Geburtsstätte der historischen Route 66 ...

Barker Dam Trail in Joshua Tree NP
This trail leads to a ranchers dam and watering trough in Joshua Tree National Park.This is a nice easy walk that is part of the ranching history of early California. This dam was built in the early 1900s. Along this trail are the pictographs that were vandalized. These pictographs are at an especially beautiful spot with a hole like cave through a giant rock.

Barker Dam in Joshua Tree National Park (California)
Barker Dam Loop is an easy 1.5-mile hike and it's totally worth because at the end you come to a beautiful water reservoir. If you are lucky, you get to enjoy the water like we did in early 2017 due to unusually heavy rains.

Pet Friendly Guide to Joshua Tree National Park (Barker Dam Optional) (193)
You would think that Joshua Tree NP, like many other National Parks, is not pet friendly. And you would be right, partially. One of the rangers at the Visitor's Center shared with me some insider intel and directed me to a few select spots where we could explore with our little Fiona (on-leash of course).
He also shared a few hikes that were short enough to leave our pet in the car with the windows cracked open on cool days (it was about 16 degrees celsius, 61 degrees Fahrenheit when we visited). Please do not leave your pets in the car on hot days. Nobody wants this, especially not Fido.
We felt that the ability to share this experience with our pet greatly enhanced our visit. We would not have been able to visit the park without having these options presented to us. As a suggestion for the National Parks, please consider building kennels for visitors to use for a fee. I would gladly pay $25 to leave Fiona in a temperature controlled cage for the day with her bed, some food and water. What a great way to generate more revenue for the park, and to enhance the experience for guests.
Don't miss out on the Cholla Cactus Garden Hike and the Barker Dam Hike!
Joshua Tree National Park’s Cholla Cactus Garden is a flat, quarter mile loop. Although these are the most gorgeous cacti imagineable, they have spines that will painfully implant into your skin, so look, but don’t touch. In the morning sun, the cacti appear to glow.
The main attraction: Joshua Trees were so named because they appeared to be reaching their hands to the sky in prayer. That is what early settlers thought, and the name stuck. Being a part of the agave family, they can be found in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. They can also be found in the San Bernardino mountains. Unfortunately it’s hard to accurately age the trees because they don’t have rings. Joshua tree forests tell a story of survival and beauty developed through perseverance. Like the Joshua Trees, if you can weather the storm, you can reach ever higher.
There was too much park to explore in just one day, but we feel like we made the most of the time we had available to us thanks to the guidance of the park ranger.

Barker Dam Nature Hike - Joshua Tree National Park
Barker Dam, also known as the Big Horn Dam, is a water-storage facility located in Joshua Tree National Park in California. The dam was constructed by early cattlemen, including CO Barker, in 1900. It was raised in 1949 by rancher William F. Keys. It is situated between Queen Valley and the Wonderland of Rocks near the Wall Street Mill. It is a gathering place for desert wildlife, including many species of birds and Desert Bighorn Sheep. Visitors can reach the dam via a short trail from a nearby parking lot and can see Native American petroglyphs a short distance to the west. There is also good bouldering on side trails near the dam. The park offers a Barker Dam Nature Hike led by a ranger.
This trail is an easy 1.1 mile loop with minimal elevation gain. The presence of standing water brings a unique set of freshwater indicator species to this trail, which you see in and around Barker Dam. The trail winds through bouldery outcrops with pinyon-oak woodlands, desert willow riparian corridors, and loamy basins dominated by Joshua tree woodlands or creosote bush scrub.
