Cute little farm to table brunch spot in Flamingo Heights/Landers where hipsters are prevalent. The dishes are rich and beautiful with a rustic homestyle feel. Featured in Sunset Magazine's January issue.
Make sure you start with the beignets (I won't say more) ... get the tumeric tea ... and ANYTHING else that you see on the menu ... every item is outstanding.

Giant Rock is a large freestanding boulder in the Mojave Desert directly adjacent to Landers. The granite stone and surrounding ground had been held as holy ground by the Native Americans. It is reported that the Hopi knew of this rock and joined other tribes across the desert to convene and celebrate the coming seasons. Shaman drew spiritual strength for the tribes through this rock. It is also said that the magic in the rock represents the heart of Mother Earth. It is also thought to be the world's largest freestanding boulder, 7 stories high.

Although technically located inside of Joshua Tree National Park, Fortynine Palms Oasis is accessible without entering the "paid" portions of the park. Located off of Canyon Road, an offshoot of 29 Palms Highway, the trail is a relatively short 3 miles round trip. But, as the National Park Service (NPS) makes explicit, this hike is "moderately strenuous" thanks to the "300 foot elevation gain" in both directions. The NPS estimates that the hike takes 2-3 hours, but can completed in less amount of time depending on your level of fitness.

10 acres of "Environmental Sculptures" in the Mojave desert
It was the dramatic and harsh landscape of the Mojave that inspired Purifoy to create his assemblage pieces, which he referred to as “Environmental Sculpture.” Purifoy intended for his works to be displayed in their natural environment and process of decay. Resisting the ideologies of institutionalized art, Purifoy insisted, “I do assemblage. I don’t do maintenance.” Thus, he beckoned the inclement weather; curious and excited to see what role nature could play in the history of an art piece, he argued that “changes are an integral part of life itself.”

Desert Christ Park is a 3.5-acre (14,000 m2) sculpture garden in Yucca Valley, California. The park was sculpted and created by Antone Martin, a former aircraft worker who died in 1961 at the age of 74. Martin started sculpting the figures out of steel-reinforced concrete[1] during the height of the Cold War atomic bomb scare of the mid-1940s, hoping that the sculptures would inspire global peace. Sculptures include The Twelve Apostles, Martha, Mary, angels, and a 15-foot-tall, 3 ton statue of Jesus, reminiscent of Rio de Janeiro's famous and much larger hilltop Christ the Redeemer. 6929 Apache Trail, Yucca Valley.
