Hugh T. Osborne Lookout Park

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I just discovered the sand dunes in Glamis a few weeks ago. They are absolutely fabulous! The pics do not do this place justice. I was passing through on business and did not expect to see sand dunes as far as the eye can see on both sides of the highway. The whole place is so pristine and no litt...

Cloud Museum
Museum
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Mr. Cloud is very friendly and willing to tell you about things you don’t recognize. You’ll be greeted by his little pack of Border Collies as he drives up on his golf cart to give you an introduction to his property and collect the $10 entrance fee. He has an impressive collection of cars, severa...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Once you're here you'd think you were transported to a desert planet in a different galaxy and with some of the odd locals here it makes it that much more believable. Yes this are gets jammed packed but at the same time you will have zero problems in finding solitude. The only bad side is that the c...

Museum of History In Granite

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Interesting must stop right off the highway. I spent a little over an hour there. You start with an introductory video explaining how this came to be then your tour guide will take a few minutes with you showing you some of the highlights, snapping a few photos for you if you would like, and then yo...

Glamis Beach Store
General store
πŸ‘ Wish they would have had pedialyte or some other kind of electrolyte replenishing drink beside sugar pumped gatorade. But, they did have ice when I rolled through! I was on my bicycle and the covered patio area was a godsend! They also carry dippin’ dots! Unfortunately, I didn’t buy any though. Didn...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Loved the RV park! The mountains in the back are beautiful. We saw the best sunsets. The kids had such a good time riding around the RV park. We felt super safe letting them roam around. The hot springs are amazing as well!!! And the owners were very kind and helpful.

Bombay Beach Ruins

πŸ‘ I went here around March of 2021 and it was a very unique experience. I took my RV down to the beach area and stayed overnight. It was very chill and the locals were pretty nice and welcoming. The art formations were really cool however the smell of the lake was not...lol. But you'll get use to...

Picacho State Recreation Area
Park
πŸ‘ Nice campground with a lot of good campsites in the main campground. There are other sites on the water, further up the river but it's a long drive and you'll need 4-wheel drive. The road in from Winterhaven (Picacho Road) is about 20 miles of bumpy dirt road. A car with good tires and a driver who...

Valley of the Names
Tourist attraction
😐 The Valley of the Names is a unique place to visit in the Southern California desert. There is a five mile dirt road you just take to get to the valley of the names. It is essentially graffiti since it does affect the natural landscape of the desert by the moving and painting of rocks in the area. I...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ <<<UPDATE 11/16/2021>>>>* Drained and cleaned tanks today. They installed a temporary soaking tank so just get in line and enjoy the palm trees that have recovered from the fire rather nicely. Love the place, everytime I drive by I stop. Unfortunately fire recently took a bit of the beauty away, ho...
