Fond Memories of Joshua Tree

Believe it or not but my first rock climbing experience was as a result of a dare by my girlfriend. You see we were in Joshua Tree National Park on the second morning of a 5 day motorcycle trip and had the entire day to explore and sightsee. When my girlfriend (who’s a great motorcyclist) dared me to join her for classes at the Joshua Tree rock climbing school and fluttered her big brown eyes at me I knew I was spending the day in Joshua Tree rock climbing.
It’s not that I’m afraid of heights, on the contrary. I just didn’t see the fun in climbing a big old rock. That is until I took rock climbing classes and received some instruction. I found that it gave me a great workout and that rock climbing in Joshua Tree was a great deal of fun. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Since then I’ve been to other rocks and had more training but no other memory is as fond as that first day rock climbing in Joshua Tree National Park.
