Visit Historic Pioneertown
Here in California we have a lot of desert to sift through. When trying to figure out how to navigate the mass, you have to know the places worth fighting the brutal heat or chilling cold. Pioneertown will lure you in regardless. You will see why as you make your way up the 4-mile winding road off Hwy 62 on your way to Joshua Tree. As you leave the already small town of Yucca Valley behind, you...
Backpack the California Riding and Hiking Trail in Joshua Tree
The starting point for this hike is at the Black Rock campground, 5 miles from the town of Yucca Valley. You'll need to self register for a free backcountry permit before starting.
The first section of the trail follows a wash then the trail narrows and, after only a mile or two, you'll begin climbing. This will be almost all of the climbing you'll do on the entire hike. The trail winds up and...

Climb at the Tramway of Mount San Jacinto
John Muir once wrote, "The view from San Jacinto is the most sublime spectacle to be found anywhere on this earth!" So it's no surprise that this is a sought after destination for hikers and climbers alike.
Named after the fact that most climbers use the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to reach this climbing area (rather than hiking up the 10,834' mountain), The Tramway is a granite city scattered...

GPX: https://www.gaiagps.com/datasu...
San Jacinto, at 10,834 feet, is the second-highest peak in the Southern California. It's unique in that it has a rotating tram car (think slow motion disco floor) that runs from Palm Springs up to the Mountain Station (8,516). From there, you can escape the crowds on a...
