While we encourage taking walks on the property and in the National Park, please do not wander into our neighbor's backyards in the surrounding area as you will be trespassing on private property. Also note, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV) IN THIS AREA. The Neighborhood: Yucca Mesa is situated within a short drive from the most popular attractions in the High Desert, offering an incredible combination of convenience and tranquility. During the day, you can explore nature in your own backyard, and at night, the stargazing can’t be beat. This area is located just minutes from shopping and dining in Joshua Tree Village and Yucca Valley, and the drive to the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park takes about 18 minutes. Looking for things to do or great places to eat? Here are a few nearby favorites within a 10-minute drive: • Wake up and head to Joshua Tree Coffee Co., known for their famed coffee made from locally roasted beans • Admire the art at the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum • Savor some southwestern brunch classics at Country Kitchen • Find the perfect Joshua Tree souvenir at Coyote Corner • Wind down with a drink and some live music at the rustic Joshua Tree Saloon • Pioneertown & Pappy & Harriet’s (20 min) • The Integratron (25 min) • Yucca Valley (10 min) • Palm Springs (50 min) Getting Around: This is a remote location down dirt roads, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.
