Amazing Skull Rock

Skull Rock, California

Located in Southern California, Joshua Tree National Park is a beautiful area that has thousands of acres of barren desert with many different plant life and rock formations dotting its bleak landscape. For the rock climber, hiker or adventurer it holds miles of hiking trials and vertical rock walls to scale with days of adventure to fill up your time.

This rock started forming long ago as depressions in the granite filled with rainwater, leading to erosion. As time passed, the two eyes formed and it started resembling a skull, the National Parks Service says.

These days, the skull is the starting point for a 1.7-mile nature trail through the park, where the Mojave and the Colorado deserts meet in southern California.
