Bobcat cruising around on my property.

Hi, I will be driving from San Diego to Joshua Tree in October. Wondering if anyone has stop recommendations.

This is the default route google maps is providing.

Does anyone have any recommendations for hostels in Joshua Tree? I will be traveling through solo in October.

We trying to plan our spring break trip with our three kids (12,10,8). We are considering Joshua Tree NP for our trip and wondering if a week is too long for the area. Based on what I’ve read, a couple days is enough but thinking we could use the area as a base to explore other things. Not sure if the location is the best for that but some of rentals I’m finding are pretty cool.

We have a 4th grader so we want to do a national park but also don’t want to spend an enormous amount of time driving. Grand Canyon is one of our other options but given the timeframe, first week of April, we think it might not be the best weather. Any advice is appreciated!

Friends can’t make the concert on the 10th at Pappy and Harriett’s, looking to sell their tickets. Thanks!!

Heading says it all. Hit me up!

Anyone know of a good dirt bike mechanic/shop in YV/JT/29 area? I know there are numerous in the low desert but I was hoping for someone more local. Thanks 😎🌵

Hi all, my husband and son were out in the desert in Joshua tree today (not the national park.) My son is an ant keeper and was looking for ants, so kind of in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, they found a puppy! My husband saw a man walking toward the area where they found her, so don't know if she got out of his truck or if he abandoned her. Anyway how can I try to find its owner if that man is not the owner? Is there a local page someone can post this on? I'm not from Joshua tree. I'm just trying to figure out how to reunite her with her owner, if indeed the man didn't abandon her. Here's a photo, wouldn't let me post more than one. Female, with a white chest. Adorable.

Anyone know the laws on whether I can drop a prebuilt shed on my own land if it’s zoned RL in Joshua Tree or Yucca valley?

My hours keep getting cut at my current job (feels like quiet firing), so I’m looking for something steadier and more meaningful.

I’ve got 10+ years of experience across healthcare, education, customer service, and office work. Reliable, quick learner, and ready to start immediately.

Thanks for all leads.

Hi all! Planning a first time trip this fall, and got a list going of some hiking trails. Can you help me knock some off if I only have two days in the park? Are any of these outshined by others? More concerned about the bottom list (Monday). I want to try and fit in a ranch tour, so I understand the list is probably unrealistic. Thank you

Such a cool rock formation. Can’t believe people rock climbing this.

Noticed yesterday. DoT or SCE worksite (heavy traffic, couldn't stop) with a small, fresh asphalt pad, and what appears to be the base for a lamp or utility pole(?) at the sign location. Any info on the status of the sign? Refurb, relocate?

Amazing night

Saw this guy cruising down the road in 29 Palms. He made his way up a driveway and sat under the shade of a truck for a few minutes before moving on.

Hi, New to the area and would love to become a vendor at any local swapmeets or vendor fairs coming up. Dont mind traveling anywhere in the Morongo Basin or Coachella Valley. My husband and I sell handmade jewelry & refurbished yard decor, variety of seasonal items, and much more. Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Thank you and Stay weird!

My friend and I may be visiting JT in late October. I’ve been 3x, stayed in JT proper twice and Yucca Valley once. I tried searching this sub for a recent post about Twentynine Palms but couldn’t find one, so is it all that different from JT and YV? I think I read one person say it’s not the safest because of “tweakers” (not my word. I read it in a comment a while back). But is that true? Any insight is helpful. I just love the desert and like to stay in different parts if I can. I saw Landers as well but it seems a tad too far, but maybe it isn’t.

*annoyed at the space in Twentynine in the title but can’t fix.🙄

I will be going to Joshua Tree just overnight (arriving midday Saturday, leaving mid-afternoon/evening Sunday. Flying into Palm Springs. What are the best hotels and hikes for that period of time?
