    I was out at Joshua Tree National Monument about a month ago for a short
    two day trip for rock climbing. I brought my Muni along just for kicks.
    The priority was to climb and not get all worn out from Muni, so I did
    very little. My buddy Carew, took a few pix of me riding near Hidden
    Valley Campground.

    There is some fun riding near in the campground, but there are signs
    that say your supposed to stay on roads. Errrrr, I didn't for these
    photos. I dropped off my first picnic table here, but didn't really get
    any decent photos of it. The images are of me riding with the surreal
    rock formations in the background. The best is here in this thread
    below. There are several others. I ended up putting this one on my
    desktop at school.

    Nice. You are making me homesick (again) for the Pacific Crest Trail,
    east of Joshua Tree. Some beautiful rock formations there, I see.

    Great photos. That Joshua tree area is very cool. Living in AZ I
    manage to get over there periodically.

    The MUni and trials options out at "Josh" are limited only by summertime
    heat--after May it's blazing. Chris H. tells me in his active climbing
    days he used to MUni all over Josh. The rock is so grainy and the
    friction so great that I suspect you could actually MUni up soem of the
    lower angled slab climbs. That's a whole new frontier out there for So.
    Cal riders.

    Beau and I have ridden out at HVCG as well. Back in the '80s when I was
    out there all the time climbing, we used to go on some awesome night
    mountain bike rides, including a climb and insane descent of Ryan
    Mountain which I will remember all my life! Unfortunately all the
    interesting stuff is illegal there, but a night ride up to Keys View is
    legal and fun - would be great on a Coker I bet.

    Josh is a great place for trials and MUni, except as you say for the
    restrictions. I did some fun riding there on climbing trips in '92 and
    '95. The rock is definately grippy although not much fun to fall on!
