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...

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‘ 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...

Bombay Beach Ruins
Tourist attraction
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...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Always a good place to take the kids on their quads or dirtbikes. The earlier the better to pick a good spot and before it gets full of side by sides. Then could be a little dangerouse cause it's not that big . Excellent bathrooms though. And the place is well kept. The shade from trees and from pic...
