On my way out toward Interstate 10, I started seeing what I thought were baby Joshua trees. It turns out they are Cholla Cactus. There is even a Cholla Garden, which is where I stopped to capture the next two photos.

A macro of a Cholla Cactus flower. I had to be careful not to get too close. Apparently, the Cholla needles really dig into your skin.
