Big Morongo Canyon Preserve (1)

On each day of our Road Scholar program in the High Desert of Southern California, we generally did two distinct activities. In the afternoon of our first day, after the introductory morning tour of Joshua Tree National Park, we went to Big Morongo Canyon Preserve.

From Wikipedia: "The Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is a 31,000 acres native plants habitat and wildlife preserve located in the Little San Bernardino Mountains of the Transverse Ranges, in the transition zone between the higher Mojave Desert and lower elevation Colorado Desert section of the Sonoran Desert."

It's perhaps not as exotic and strange as the National Park, but it's very attractive in its own right. I'll be posting pictures for the next six days, presented in the order that I took them that afternoon as we walked through the Preserve.
