Lost Horse Valley Forest - a photo on Flickriver

            There is a Joshua Tree forest located in the Lost Horse Valley of Mojave Desert, just north of the Little San Bernardino Mountains, which is, of course, smack dab in the middle of Joshua Tree National Park.

These plants, which are the species Yucca brevifolia, grow tall (up to approximately 50'), quickly for a desert environment, and have deep root systems, that reach up to 36' in search of water in their native desert climates.  Since they are not truly trees, they don't have growth rings in their trunks, rather thousands of small fibers, making it difficult to determine their age.  It is thought that some survive a thousand years.

Most of the places we explored throughout Joshua Tree NP had relatively spartan populations of the namesake trees; but along the road to Keys View, and the Queen Valley Road, there are forests of the trees, which our children find amazingly like the truffala trees imagined by Dr. Seuss.
