What a way to end 2024! On the first leg of this trip, I met up with new friends and we hit an epic trail in Death Valley (thanks to @aalexportillo and @campthropology for the invite)! We then camped at an abandoned Microwave Tower which had views for days. After, I headed towards Joshua Tree, which funny enough, was my first time considering how close it is to where I live! I now see what the hype is all about and want to go back again someday -- maybe not during a holiday though because the crowds were insane.
