Mojave Desert, Joshua Tree City and Joshua Tree National Park
After meeting your group in Los Angeles, we head directly to the Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree city where we will check out some interesting art and the oddities of the desert. Passing through the town of Joshua tree, we'll stop for a chance to explore downtown area, where you'll find art galleries, thrift shops, and a variety of delicious lunch options. Next, we head straight for Joshua tree National Park where you'll see some of the highlights and do a little hiking. There are great bouldering/rock climbing opportunities here, a hike to abandoned mining operations; the Barker Dam hike will give us a base for exploring the history of the area with it's recent cattle ranching and pictographs from a more distant past.
We will continue exploring the park into the late afternoon, when we will head back to Joshua Tree city for a quick snack or coffee at one of the restaurants in town. We may stop for a little stargazing, and then be back on our way to Los Angeles, arriving around 8-9pm.

Noah Purifoy's "Environment of Sculptures"
Noah Purifoy's art installation near the park entrance is made primarily from reclaimed materials that were either purchased from a local landfill or gifted to Mr. Purifoy by local residents. Visitors are free to explore inside some the art pieces and apply their own interpretations.

The Integratron - "The fusion of art, science and magic"
Built by George van Tassel, the Integratron is a parabolic dome constructed almost entirely of wood. Because of it's shape, sounds have interesting effects inside the dome; it was purportedly built to perform cell rejuvenation therapies shared with van Tassel by extra-terrestrials visiting from Venus . . . regardless of what you believe about it's origins, the Integratron is one of the most unique sites to see and experience in California, and possibly even the world. For a complete history of the Integratron, check out the official website: The Integratron.
Pioneertown, California
Built in the 40's by Roy Rogers and other Hollywood investors, Pioneertown started out as a movie set but has taken on a life of it's own and now hosts a number of events throughout the year. (Read more)
