Sightseeing
Considered to be the largest solitary boulder on this earth, this 23,000 ton mass was seen as sacred by Native Americans who once lived in the Mojave Desert near Landers, California. In the 1950s, it was a popular gathering point for UFO believers. Giant Rock is about 3 miles north of the Integratron. The rock and surrounding area are public land. The Giant is about 12-15 miles north of Yucca Valley. From the junction of Routes 62 and 247, go 12.5 miles north on 247 to Linn Road.

Arts & Culture
A strange and wonderful must-see! Noah Purifoy filled 2 1/2 acres of the high desert in Joshua Tree with a sculpture garden that grew out of the earthy concerns of his life, using cast-off junk like tires, car parts, bowling balls, foam rubber, iron, shoes, and old clothes bleached in the sun, as well as construction materials like steel, aluminum, weathered wood, glass bricks, Astroturf, chicken wire, old windows, adobe and aluminum.

Parks & Nature
"It's known as one of the world’s best rock climbing areas, but the desert hiking is fantastic, too. Straddling the transition zone between high and low deserts, trails here climb up prominent peaks, meander through cactus gardens, reach hidden oases, and wander near the ruins of ghost towns." - Modern Hiker

Black Lava Butte and Flat Top Mesa Hike. This hike rivals any found in Joshua Tree National Park and almost no one knows about it. You are not likely to see anyone else on this hike. Google Map search "Sand to Snow National Monument Black Lava Butte and Flat Top Mesa" off Boulder View Drive in Pipes Canyon.
Walk up the trail and on the first boulders you come to on your right (about a 10 minute walk) you will find incredible petroglyphs. Also look for the bedrock mortar (a bowl carved into the rock). Continue on through the canyon for a beautiful hike. Look for footprints that head off the trail to discover more ancient petroglyphs, carvings and bedrock mortars/metates.
