Hiking
Hike Goat Mountain
Goat Mountain in Landers is a lesser known trail that climbs about 1,000 feet to a beautiful view of the Mojave Desert. Grids of land to the south, and absolute nothingness to the north. This trail takes you past old mines and a rock-formation sun dial. What an amazing trail! https://www.alltrails.com/us/california/landers

If you’re here to hike, then we probably don’t have to tell you anything. But if this is your first time out to the high desert and your just visiting, then drive thru the park if you have time. It’s absolutely beautiful and unlike any place on earth!

Restaurants
The beauty of La Copine is instantly noticeable; all one has to do is explore their Instagram account. Sometimes a vintage Airstream trailer parks out front and acts as an upcycled general store. Other times rehabbed old cars or a vintage piano take up residence alongside hanging woven tapestries and heavy diner plates. Always there are eggs, avocados, and perfectly-lit corners to hide away in.
On weekends, vacationers looking to escape the Ace Hotel pool scene drive up from Palm Springs, while others visiting the Integratron sound bath (just a short drive further north) putter into the parking lot. Waits can reach an hour or more during prime Saturday brunch hours, and there are no reservations. Still, folks manage, knowing that Hill’s food (she’s the trained chef, while Wadsworth is a musician) is among the best food available for a good distance in any direction. 5min from Landers Cove

If you enjoy edibles, tell them you want any food item “Green” and they will use marijuana butter for an additional small charge. They do deliver, even though we suggest going to pick it up right after you order, it’s just better fresh and hot. $5 for a cheese pizza, 5 minutes from Landers Cove and “Green” too...can’t beat that!!
