Hike to Indian Joe's Gardens


There is a place just northwest of the city of Trona which we decided to go hiking. It was a nice little hike for our little family. We hadn't been on a hike for sometime and the winter time here is the best time to go hiking because the weather is so great. This particular hike we actually took a couple of weeks ago. There were a lot of rocks to climb, which the kids loved. And it was actually pretty adventurous walking through tall grasses, trees, and rock formations. Unfortunately for me my ankle gave out and I took a tumble landing on both knees and got a good gash on one. Luckily I didn't break any bones and was still able to walk. We found the lower garden, but didn't quite make it to the upper garden because we needed to be back home by a certain time. At the upper garden there is suppose to be a spring called Indian Joe's Springs. It is pretty dry at the gardens but there are a lot of things that are growing. There are quite a few trees and plants which make it pretty in its on desert like way. We had a good time and it was a good family outing for us on this day.
