Barker Dam Nature Trail - a photo on Flickriver

            The Mojave Desert in Joshua Tree National Park is home to all sorts of interesting geographic and natural phenomena.

Of course, there are the namesake Joshua Trees, the Mojave Yucca plants, and the California Junipers.  But, what do you call these granite outcroppings?  Apparently, geologists refer to these as inselbergs, which is German for 'island mountain', and the rock itself is called monzogranite.

Whatever the names, the formations combined with the verdant plant life make Joshua Tree an interesting location for hikers, climbers, and photographers alike.  Come visit natural California, and see for yourself!

(Oh...and if you're looking for a sense of scale...note the woman in a mocha jacket near the top of the inselberg to the left taking a photo of someone not visible from this perspective)
