Barker Dam Loop Joshua Tree National Park, California Easy, 2.33 mi loop 180 ft elevation gain Hiked 3/26/24 Flickr Album flic.kr/s/aHBqjCGdJd #JoshuaTree #NationalParks #California #Hiking #Photography #Landscape

A Joshua tree takes up the left half of the frame while in the distant right a large rock mound may be seen with a climber on the top of it attached to a climbing rope.

A large outcrop of fragmented rock rises up behind a field of small Joshua Trees under a blue sky dotted with a couple small clouds.

A few large boulders rise on the left of frame like a beacon with a large pile of boulders on the right. In between them a snow capped mountain may be seen in the distance.

A massive rock mound with many small boulders eroding off of it stands above a small grouping of Joshua Trees. Several small clusters of trees may be seen growing in portions of the mound.

An easy loop takes you to Barker dam, a small reservoir built for ranching in the early 1900s. This area is used extensively by climbers as many large outcrops may be found in the area. Apparently petroglyphs may also be found on a rock wall here, although I was unaware at the time so did not see.
