Joshua Tree - Panoramic Views

There are 2 views you really should see.

Ryan's Mountain (5457 ft) requires the effort of an approximate 1000ft climb from the desert floor (which took me about 45 minutes), and gives you the view above. Along the way you also get view like this one.

Its hot and hard work in the sun, so don't forget your water!

The are only a few higher places in the park: Eureka Peak (5516 ft), Queen Mountain (5677 ft) and Quail Mountain (5814 ft) which is the highest point in the Park. If I get the chance of another visit, next time I'll tackle Quail Mountain, maybe by starting from La Contenta Road which is accessible from Yucca Valley.

For Key's View (5185 ft) there really is no excuse since the road goes right to it.

The visibility in Joshua Tree is usually enormous. The day I was at Key's View I could see Signal Mountain in Mexico, 95 miles way.
