Eagle Mine Road - Joshua Tree National Park
Beginning 6.5 miles north of the Cottonwood Visitor Center, this dead-end dirt
road runs along the edge of Pinto Basin, crosses several dry washes, and then
winds up through canyons in the Eagle Mountains. The first 9 + miles of the road
are within the park boundary. Beyond that point is BLM land. Several old mines
are located near this road.

Pear Cactus
Prickly pear cactus are found in all of the deserts of the American
Southwest. Most prickly pears have large spines, actually
modified leaves, on their stems and vary in height from
less than a foot to 6 or 7 feet.
