heading to Joshua Tree next week for the very first time with my love⦠to say Iām excited is the ultimate understatement.
Iāve always been fascinated by landscapes that feel vast and almost alien. places where the quiet is loud and the light hits in ways that make everything feel a little more surreal.
Everyone I talk to seems to have a Joshua Tree story about the moment they finally understood the magic, or the moment the desert humbled them. Iām ready to see what it holds in store for usā¦.
if any friends have fave sunrise/sunset spots, hidden trails, weird roadside gems, good food recs in town, or overlooked places where the desert feels especially alive, Iām open to it all. please share your stories, Iād love to hear what made it magic for you.
And also⦠what are the random things you wish someone had told you before your first trip? šµ
