Also on site: Kiersten Puusemp, Untitled

Directions: From 29 Palms, continue east on Hwy 62. Drive forever (23 miles) and turn left at Iron Age Rd. Drive a mile or so until you see something. (Iron Age Rd connects both Amboy Rd and Hwy 62, so you can reach it using either access road.)

BE SMART:Bring lots of water, food, sunblock, a headlamp, and a big hat. Leave no trace! Be careful of fragile plants, and watch for snakes. This is a delicate ecology and a community that desires to protect it. Help keep HDTS a positive force.

BRING CASH:Many places accept cash only!

DRIVE SAFELY:There are more sites than you will realistically be able to see, so pick and choose - and take your time! Obey speed limits (they are known to catch speeders on Hwy 62), and avoid drunk and drowsy driving!

IF YOU GET STUCK IN THE SAND:Do NOT gun your car - this will only dig you in further. Place car floormats under your wheels and back out slowly. Another trick is to let some air out of your tires. If all else fails, dig the sand out and wait for help pushing the car out. Patience and cooperation can stop the situation from becoming dire. Or call a tow truck–Bailey's (29 Palms) 760-367-0089, Hills (Joshua Tree) 760-365-0621, and Lefevre's (Pioneertown) 760-364-2846.
