In this second installment of the "Nick Goes West" trilogy (because after all isn't everything a trilogy these days?) Nick takes you through everything Joshua Tree National Park! Grab some SPF 70, sunglasses, and make sure you pack a few extra liters of water for this one!
As Josh is eager to find out where he came from, Nick is excited to share some news about fundraising and hiking for the Alzheimer's Association's The Longest Day - 48 Peaks event! Next, Nick continues sharing his recent trip to Southern California, and runs down where to stay, where to eat, where to shop, what to do, and most importantly, where to hike, in Joshua Tree National Park!
Driving from San Diego like the "Californians", roadrunners are really quick, a day hike to Eureka Peak, unfortunate encounters of the prickly kind, all the rocks, Joshua trees are like snowflakes, a sunset hike to Ryan Mountain, so many stars, and more content than acres in Rhode Island, on this dusty, hot, sweaty, and downright-amazed episode of the PUDs Podcast!
