This past weekend I went down to LA and then drove out to the desert to visit Pioneertown and Joshua Tree. Both places are magical, but for completely different reasons.
Pioneertown was founded by some Hollywood actors in the 40's to be a permanent set for Westerns. No one ever lived there, it was just a replica of a town in the 1880's but now there are houses all around it and some of the buildings, like the post office, are functional.
Joshua Tree was totally gorgeous and I was lucky enough to be there at sunset. I hiked to the top of Ryan Mountain which had amazing views. There landscape is totally Dr. Seuss, there are giant free standing polished looking rock formations, many bright cacti and crazy trees with spiky tops. I love the desert.
