    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!
