The Mystery of Hidden Valley(perhaps Emmaus is in there?)

"Which way to Hidden Valley?"
Asking directions of the local flora and fauna.



At last we arrive at the entrance to Hidden Valley. The area is a box canyon with a discrete source of water, so the place is much greener with different plant types than the surrounding desert. Sort of a subdued garden of eden (if only in contrast with the surrounding desert)



Now I'm just funning with you. This is a view from on top of San Jancito Park way up in the mountains. It was 28 up there when the temperature in Palm Springs was 71 that day.
The picture we took in Hidden Vally didn't come out so you will have to trust me that the plants and trees in the Valley were different enough to be impressive.......just not this impressive.
