Take This Trip

Created by Shawn Sousa - October 16th 2019

This is our family's Thanksgiving Week Adventure. We enjoy family time in the RV, exploration, adventure, downtime, games, and educational experiences (geology and history). This plan is a loose framework for our adventure and we modify it once our boots are on the ground to meet the needs of our reality. Looking forward to creating life long memories for all!

This is a great picture place. It is right off the main road. It is a great place to have the kids scramble along the rocks. Helmets, gloves and clothes that could get torn should be worn by the kids.

Per the reviews I've read, this is an excellent destination to hit at sunset. We might want to explore looking for some neat dining experiences in and around Joshua Tree.
