There is something about escaping to the desert that is so cleansing for the soul. Every time I go to Joshua Tree, I can’t wait to come back again.
It’s hard to put into words how a trip to the desert makes me feel, but the best way I can describe it is that I feel I’m shedding out of my heavy skin and letting go of everything that’s weighing me down, allowing my spirit to feel light and airy — much like the calm desert breeze that you might find flowing through Joshua Tree on a perfect day. The peace and solitude you find here is something I find myself craving throughout the year.
