Food Scene
I love the decor and the 50's music they play makes it even better. The food is great, and the waffles! The Corned beef hash! Yum! Everything is affordable and there is bottomless coffee. The Diner has new owners - the best and sweetest couple you'll ever meet, Beth and Vern.

Something as surprising as an EXCELLENT Middle Eastern restaurant in the middle of the desert. Yummy! Those lamb chops are fantastic! Good vegetarian options too.
29 Palm is out neighbouring town, and this restaurant is 20 minutes away from here.

Cafeteria style environment, but the food is very good indeed. Order one of the chef's plates, the seaweed salad or the baked mussels. Yum! Very affordable, given the great food they are serving. The portions are not exactly small. Aki Sushi is in Yucca valley, and 20 minutes away.

Never mind the pizza. What is REALLY great about this place, is that they do close to authentic Indian food. I know. I moved here after 21 years in London, where they are really good at Indian, and this beats any Beverly Hills Indian restaurant, -for a fraction of the price. If you like proper Indian, go here. The pizza ain't bad either and handy to to stuff kids with, and the house wine is quaffable. Sam's is in downtown Joshua Tree and 10 minutes away

Sightseeing
An hour and a half drive away, The Salton Sea is an inland saline lake in the Sonoran Desert of extreme southeastern California. It occupies the Salton Basin, a remnant of prehistoric Lake Cahuilla. It is bordered on the south by the rich agricultural areas of the Imperial Valley and on the west, by Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Both the Salton Sea State Recreation Area and the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge are located on its shores. For a recommended mini roadtrip, this is a good destination. The shore is full of little towns. Stop ar Ski Inn for refreshments. This Iconic bar is amazingly still there. Hurry. It may not last long. This is good for a day mini road trip.

In 1946, Pioneertown was founded by a group of Hollywood investors, including actors Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. They dreamed of creating an Old West set that was actually a town worth visiting, with 1880s-style false-front facades but interiors that had stuff for visitors to see and do too. Up went (from the outside) frontier stables, saloons, and jails; inside, they housed ice cream parlors, bowling alleys, and motels. Then the film industry left, and people moved into the film set. Pioneertown is full of little shops, home to Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, and is set in stunning scenery. 20 minutes drive away through scenic Pipe's Canyon.

An incredible hike to the top of a volcanic crater. The volcano is no longer active. Hike through black lava stones, enjoy the view, and the drive out there is to die for! Pop by Amboy Town - A mid century ghost town on route 66 near the crater.
