TITLE
Catch Some Cowboys, Cactus and Crystals in Joshua Tree, California
LEAD PARAGRAPH
Just beyond the billowing smog and myriad freeways of the Los Angeles region, you'll find a peaceful surprise in Yucca Valley, home of the incomparably odd Joshua trees and J-Tree National Park, as well as the kitschy, quaint wild west wilderness of the high desert. You’ll encounter the mix of military from the Marine base in nearby 29 Palms, musical free-spirits, hippies, cowboys and solitary spiritualists at the incomparable Pappy and Harriet’s roadhouse, on the edge of 1950s-movie-set-turned-homage, Pioneertown.

The hollow shells lining the dirt road have become another desert attraction, especially with gunslinger shows on the weekends. Buy a leather saddle or a bespoke belt from the vendors at the Old General Store, or create your own narrative inside the town's jail. The sheriff's position is up for grabs, as long as you bring your own badge!
Across from Mane Street, spend your evening at the incomparable roadhouse, Pappy and Harriet’s for some back-country barbecue and top-shelf tequila. LA-based musicians and world-famous rockers swing by for epic nightly performances. Rock, country, bluegrass, folk, jazz and blues draw a diverse crowd of all ages and creeds. In the fall and spring, the Joshua Tree Music Festival brings even more music lovers to the peace and love of the
