Most people who tour Joshua Tree either do it strictly by auto (which is still beautiful), stop at some of the many "points of interest" pullouts, or walk a couple of the well established nature trails. That is fine, but there are a lot of other great things, that are hidden in plain, or maybe just a little bit off the beaten path. Nobody is going to point them out to you.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present the ladies...
The Red Lady (pictograph)
This is probably the most "famous" pictograph in Joshua Tree. It isn't really hidden, but it might as well be, because very few people see it.
Enhanced photo of the Red Lady.
The Brunette Lady (pictograph)
The Brunette Lady, is only about a mile from the Red Lady. If you look closely at her hair line, you can see that she is clearly a brunette.
I have a lot of older photos of this pictograph, but my granddaughter told me that those old photos don't have her in it. So I took her two dollar bribe and said I'd post one with her in it.
The Modern Lady (Petroglyph)
I understand that "modern" is a relative term when it cones to old things. Still though, isn't this an "A-Line" dress?
The Modern Lady's vandalized twin
It seems that the only difference between this petroglyph and the previous one, is that some idiot followed the lines with a pencil. I have no idea when it was done, but it has been like this as long as I can remember.
-------------------------------------
These last few are just for your viewing pleasure. The don't necessarily have anything at all to do with the ladies. There are from the same area, but that's all I'm saying.

There are a lot more items in these areas, but in deference to the ladies, I didn't want to distract you from their beauty...
