Help me decide?

Post by krispykritter »

Our april family big camping adventure is coming up and I was thinking Joshua tree or Chiricahua but I cant decide. I have 4 days to camp (in a tent) and hike around. I will be with the kids so short fun hikes are a must. I dont know both are so cool. Is Chiricahua Nat Monument big enough for a 4 day trip or just a weekend trip. Rock climbing in Joshua tree would be cool too.

I love the Chiricahuas and recommend going there but it's better suited for a weekend. At least the National Monument. I know there are a lot more trails in those mountains I'm just not that familiar with them.

I think you should take them up 9L Peak. Four days up there would be a blast! :roll:
Plus, it still needs a photo or two.
I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

Campgrounds might be full in Joshua Tree in April on the weekends surrounding Coachella Music Festival.
