As the owner of a four-wheel-drive vehicle, I was naturally obligated to explore the geology tour road in Joshua Tree National Park.
Despite the signs stating that four-wheel-drive is recommended, the trail is really just a graded dirt road that is sandy in places. This makes the trail passable-probably with some difficulty- in a two- wheel -drive vehicle.
Four-wheel-drive enthusiasts expecting a challenging trail will be disappointed. Here, four-wheel-drive merely provides additional traction-especially on sections of the trail that are sandy, uphill grades. And, that's ok, especially because the destination is sometimes more important than the journey.
" Squaw Tank" is one stop along the trail. The "tank" is actually a dammed area that was used by early twentieth century cattlemen to gather run-off water for their herds.
