Things To Do
Pappy + Harriet's
Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace is a legendary desert roadhouse known for its live music, laid-back vibe, and amazing BBQ. Kyle and I came here on our first trip out to the desert!
The Red Dog Saloon
The Red Dog Saloon is a classic Western-style bar that captures the spirit of the Old West, with wooden interiors and an authentic saloon atmosphere. A favorite among visitors, it offers cold drinks, a friendly vibe, and a glimpse into the history of Pioneertown.
Joshua Tree National Park
Kyle and I wandered around Joshua Tree on our first trip out together. We hiked Ryan Mountain, walked the Cholla gardens, and climbed on the incredible boulder formations. A must-see while you're in the area and great national park to check off your list! Entrance fees are $30 per vehicle.
