Cylindropuntia bigelovii
A layer of these cholla spread away from me out towards the mountains. They were spiny looking; brown towards the base, green and whitish towards the top where the cholla branched out into multiple arms in random directions.
The desert was hot and dry, though there had been snow the day before in the area. A field of these cholla was just off the side of the main road through Joshua Tree National Park.
