Otherwise known as "The Rock", Alcatraz Island just off the shores of San Francisco. Home to the first lighthouse on the West Coast, not to mention one of the most notorious prison systems, movie set, national park, and the birthplace of the American Indian Red Power movement.

There are many easy hiking trails around Jenkinson Lake in the Sly Park Recreational area.
Skull Rock, found in Joshua Tree National Park near 29 Palms, California is an impressive stop for those that venture into the park. The other worldly formations are something to behold as you travel the place where "the streets have no names." (Thank you to U-2 from providing some perfect travel music!)
Of course, no visit to Joshua Tree National Park would be complete without taking the time to spend some time admiring the namesake of the park. The landscape and unique vegitation makes you truly feel as though you are visiting another world.
