Probably my favorite, the entrance is actually off the 62 (not the regular entrance), check out 49 Palms Oasis. Note: it is usually closed in summer months to allow bighorn sheep undisturbed access to surface water Check out our IG @joshuadesertoasis for more pictures.

Right next to the barker dam so it’s easy to double up on the fun! Super easy. My 3.5 year old walked the whole thing with a 19th century crushing mill.

1.2-mile out-and-back trail. Considered an easy route, it takes an average of 26 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking and walking, so it can get busy. And look for the famous HEART!

Obsessed with this place and less thana mile from the house. I go for dinner every single time I am in town. I even go by myself. Outdoor seating, fire pits, music, comedy, they have it all. Reservations recommended.
