The next stop in the park was the Cholla Cactus Garden. The joshua trees grow in the northern end of the park at higher elevations, in the Mojave Desert. The cactus garden is to the south and significantly lower in elevation in the Sonoran Desert. The garden is an extremely dense stand of Cholla, or teddy bear cactus, mixed in with some yellow wildflowers. It was HOT, HOT, HOT at this site, in the mid nineties and the air was dry as a bone.
