Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree
Art, the desert and a dose of bohemian living
This town in San Bernardino County, California is great for a weekend getaway from Los Angeles or San Diego, and sits on the edge of the Joshua Tree National Park. Expect art, the desert and a healthy dose of bohemia. Rock climbing and hikes are firmly on the list of things to do nearby; add to that small animals, and nearby Pioneertown, a former Western set turned tourist attraction, and the kids will be happy too.
