* My Top Picks*
Hiking, bouldering, camping - the park has it all! But if you're like me and not *too* outdoorsy, you can still enjoy the park in all its beauty from any one of the drivable loops. I recommend the Skull Rock hike if you're looking for something easy and fun.

The Cholla Cactus Garden is one of my favorite stops in the National Park. It is a very short and easy hike but it's definitely worth a visit to see these unique desert plants. Parking: There is a decent-sized parking lot, but it can get crowded on weekends and holidays.

Founded in the 1940s by a group of Western movie stars, Pioneertown was intended to function as a full time movie set complete with faux saloon, trading post, and jail lining a dusty street in the middle of the desert. It still makes the occasional film appearance and is now home to some local shops and restaurants.
