Perfect Prairie Paradise
Shadow Mountain was the perfect prairie paradise I was looking for to spend some time in Joshua Tree.The home had all the modern conveniences I needed to prepare for, and decompress after, time in Joshua Tree National Park.The home was easy to access, close enough to the area essentials, and would love to visit again soon.
