19 January we headed to Morongo Canyon Preserve to join up with the morning bird hike. We enjoyed meeting people, and seeing a variety of feathered friends, including a nesting pair of hawks.
We had one more hike we wanted to take to a watering hole in Joshua Tree National Park. It was another beautiful California day! Hard to believe this is January!
The Willow Hole Trail is the southern portion of the Boy Scout Trail (near picnic area 8 miles in from West Entrance). A relatively flat hike up a wash to a waterhole which was interesting – a good destination.
A few days later, 24 January, we headed back to the Coachella Valley Preserve to take this photograph at the pond. We then had a picnic lunch under the California Palm trees, saying “until we come this way again”.
