Twentynine Palms

this is the worst place in the WORLD!!! do not go here! absolutely nothing there! desert like weather and just rocks and sand everywhere! VERY MISLEADING PICs.

Altough I had no desire to go here and could not wait to leave, I do consider the high desert worth visiting (but ONLY visiting). I got stationed here while in the marine corps, and the sunrises and sunsets are very beautiful. The heat even though a dry heat gets like an oven in the summer which is made even worse by the view of Big Bear Mountain’s snow covered summit.
Being there you are more than aware that it is not fit for human habitation
I would suggest only visiting during the winter months.

Just go.. Just so you can say. I have been to HELL ON EARTH… Literally.

i was stationed here when i went to my FROC back in the summer of 1997. memories of over 115 degrees in utilities, raking sand in front of the barracks. those were the days indeed.

But it’s really beautiful, and can be very relaxing.
