For beer, hit up Brävery Brewing, known for its comprehensive house tap list. Check out the interpretive center to learn more about the history and find art exhibits. You’ll find signs to inform you about the landscape at the 120-acre preserve, maneuver through the densest grove of Joshua trees around (they aren’t actually trees but yucca) and various local flora, such as an 800-year old creosote bush. Check out a three-mile stroll through Prime Desert Woodland Preserve that captures the local essence of the high desert. The area also is worthy of a visit during less-visited months when temperatures are cool. Lancaster, L.A.’s high desert home base, best known for its astonishing orange bloom blanket (in good years) at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, is the place. Take time to enjoy a sampler, but don’t miss exploring the beautiful 90-acre grounds, which house chickens, goats, horses and alpacas. Eventually, you connect with the PCT and then the Geology Trail, which deposits you back at the trailhead.Īfter, rock your palate at Agua Dulce Winery, which serves reds, whites and rosés straight from its local vineyard.
There are plenty of single-track spur trails to further explore. Continue south to take in vistas of rolling hills with rocky outcroppings as well as the small Sierra Pelona mountain range. Whether you favor sci-fi or bandits, the rocks are truly an impressive sight. The 45-degree-leaning sedimentary behemoths were formed by roughly 25 million years of erosion. Soon, the real rock stars come into view, which were named after the notorious bandit Tiburcio Vásquez, who used to meet up with his gang and hide from the law here. You’ll pass a campground, various interpretive signs for local flora (like California juniper, yucca and sagebrush) and a Tataviam dwelling, grinding bowl and pictograph.
Check out the exhibits at the nature center and grab a map, following signs for the Nature Heritage Trail. The real reason to go is to see the remarkable tilted slabs and top-notch boulder scrambling sites at the 932-acre park.
