Cholla Cactus Garden
Joshua Tree National Park
Continuing south, on Pinto Basin Road, from the "Apostle of Cacti" turnout, one enters into the Transition Zone between the Mojave and Colorado Deserts. This extensive grove of "teddy bear" cholla thrives here. Their fat fingers glow in early morning light, left and above. When the sun creeps above the horizon, they take on a warm, orange appearance.
