Joshua Tree has always been a place I’ve wanted to visit, those crazy Dr. Seuss style trees and the beautiful sunset images…what is not to love? Well, besides the heat during the summer - man, it is no joke! It is like being inside an oven. I gotta say though, I far prefer the dry heat over humid Atlanta heat. Still, the desert can be cruel and you can not be overly hydrated. Water is your best friend here.
