Hazel Bay Jennings – Crocodile Hunter

Joshua Tree National Park captured my heart during a quick trip to my brother’s wedding. As a climber, it felt like a playground waiting to be explored. After moving to California, J-Tree became my second home in winter, where I forged friendships with fellow adventurers. Over nearly 30 years, I’ve experienced countless unforgettable moments in this stunning landscape. However, the park is at risk of being loved to death. If you venture there, please treat it with the gentleness and respect it deserves, preserving its delicate beauty for future generations to enjoy.
