Last year I shared a different view of this same sunset, so I thought I’d share what it looked like in the opposite direction this year. I’m a sucker for layered mountains like this, and the view from Keys View, inside Joshua Tree National Park is a great place for this. There is just something about grand vistas like this for me. I think it helps properly set perspectives on just how small we are in this world! The spot offers 360 degree views of the mountainous desert that makes up the area, and is definitely worth the drive if you’re nearby.
