Exterior window of the Joshua Tree Boulder Cabin
During the gold rush, some Joshua Tree miners built a cabin into the side of a giant boulder by pushing other rocks into place, applying mortar, and creating a roof of sticks and sheet metal. The cabin is "preserved" but wild - you can hike to it (start on the Split Rock Trail and uphill). Some of their old pots and pans, yokes, and other gear are left hanging around for hikers to appreciate.
