Hidden Valley campground is surrounded by many high quality climbing routes.
Joshua Tree National Park is famous for it's many bouldering problems.
Growing up in Dublin, Ireland, I first heard the term Joshua tree in 1987 when local rock band U2 released their classic album of the same name. Completely enthralled by the music, I was also captivated by the moody black and white photographs on the album cover which depicted the band in a landscape very different from the one I had grown up in. Some twenty years later, I finally had the opportunity to visit the park during a winter break road trip.
