🌵 One of my favorite spots in Joshua Tree National Park — the incredible Cholla Cactus Garden. Thousands of “teddy bear” cholla cactus fill the desert here, creating one of the most unique landscapes in the park. It’s especially magical at sunrise and sunset when the cactus glow in golden light ✨ Save this spot for your Joshua Tree trip! 🌵🏜️ #tiktokgofamilyfun #joshuatreenationalpark #joshuatree #california #nationalparks

That view tho. 🤩 🌵 This is a cholla cactus, AKA “jumping cholla.” Its barbed spines attach so easily to passing skin/fur/clothing it’s like they actually JUMP out at you. And they don’t let go! 😭 Removal: Slow & steady is the only way. (Preferably with everyone’s fingers well protected.) It takes a surprising amount of force – those barbs are strong! Definitely no jerking movements tho. 🙅‍♀️ Have YOU encountered one of these? #cactuslover #travelhacks #travelalways #experientialtravel #mexic

The teddy bear cactus, more commonly known as the jumping cholla, received that nickname because if you get too close...a segment will break off and fly at your body. Yes, a flying cactus. #cactus #keepclear #chollacactus #poppies #Superbloom
