Welcome to the amazing desert of Joshua Tree and my Palm Springs Travel Diary.  My best friend and fellow adventure gal had been telling me for years about this amazing oasis in California, but I never really understood what she was saying until now –  it’s like a Dr. Seuss book come to life!

My husband and I woke up at the crack of dawn on day 3 of our trip to drive to Joshua Tree for a bit of exploration.  We left our hotel at 5am to arrive at about 6:30am.  The temperatures at Joshua Tree climb quickly once the sun is up, so you want to start early.  We spent the first half of our day rock climbing (don’t worry, you’ll get all those details in the next post), so we wanted it to be cool temps for as long as possible.

After our climbing trip we did a bit more exploration.  The park is amazing and you could spend days exploring.  Anyone in the area should definitely make the trip to visit.  Now, I’ll be honest, I didn’t rock climb in this outfit.  But the scenery was so gorgeous, I couldn’t help but plan a outfit post while we were there.  I chose the coral sequined skirt because I knew it would pop in the gorgeous neutral setting of the grass, rocks and trees.  The off the shoulder top has become a favorite silhouette of mine.  This one from Zara is perfect for hot temps, and it’s ready for summer.

Check back next week for more Palm Springs travel to dos, outfits and a bit of rock climbing.
