Road trip to Joshua Tree (with UNIQUE stops) | Apple Pie, Salton Sea, Ladder Canyon, & MORE!

Although we LOVED our time on the coast in San Diego, we took a little detour off the California coast for a couple weeks (don’t worry, we’ll be back to the ocean soon!) and went on a road trip from San Diego to Joshua Tree full of unique and delicious spots! 🔗Links See all of our camera & hiking gear: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/gear/ ⌚Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:17 Julian Pie Company 04:45 Galleta Meadows Sculpture Map 06:50 Salton Sea & Bombay Beach 09:50 Driving to Ladder Canyon 12:14 Ladder Canyon hike 18:37 In-N-Out Burger 19:37 Shields Date Garden 22:35 Van life chores 24:08 We made it to Joshua Tree! 📍Locations in this vlog Julian Pie Company: https://goo.gl/maps/K4nHpDf6o5JneBCH7 Galleta Meadows Sculpture Map: https://underthesunfoundation.org/content/1-visit-us/sky-art-map.pdf Bombay Beach: https://goo.gl/maps/1e7vMmtFbbgpaHNt7 Ladder Canyon: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/ladder-canyon-and-painted-canyon-trail--4 Shields Date Garden: https://goo.gl/maps/mu2dCWrDdLCLByVE7 North Joshua Tree BLM: https://goo.gl/maps/JqvSrftNAyEDLWDK9 __________ 📷 See ALL of our gear: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/gear/ 🚐 Our Van Life products: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/van-conversion-cost-tour-mistakes 💻 Follow us on social media!
