Mingo's Wonderland of Rocks Hike

Last Saturday the Coachella Valley Hiking Club did a hike in the Wonderland of Rock in Joshua Tree National Park. This is a trackless area with no regular trails and no way to get through except by rock scrambling. We went in through the Barker Dam area and came out at Queen Mountain. Everyone was tired. Even though we only hiked about five miles, the country is so rough that it felt like we had hiked fifteen miles. At least two of the hikers ripped their pants to the point of indecency and I just threw my pants away when I got home. As usuall, Mingo had everyone work together and got us out more or less safely. I took a lot of flower pictures.
