On your way to Joshua Tree, you drove through the Morongo basin. This is where Spaghetti Western is. They are open Thursday through Sunday. New owners took over the former Willie Boys Saloon. The western themed interior remains, but the fare is Italian. Live music on the weekends. Family friendly. Kristin's favorite: Spaghetti with Parmesan cream sauce and chicken and the Burrata cheese salad.

Sky High Pie is located next to Joshua Tree Coffee. These are two of my fav eating/drinking places located in the village of Joshua Tree. Sky High Pie has great pizza and all menu items are SO FRESH. Kristin's favorite: Margarita Pizza. Ask if they have stuffed Portobello mushrooms (OMG soo yummy!) Check out the fresh dessert counter.

Integratron Sound Bath in Landers - A unique desert experience!
Search: "Integratron" for more information and pricing on Sound Baths with more than 20 sound bowls in this unique and storied structure.
The Integratron, circa 1954, is located in Landers, California, 20 miles north of Joshua Tree National Park. Its creator, George Van Tassel (1910-1978), claimed that the structure is based on the design of Moses’ Tabernacle, the writings of Nikola Tesla and telepathic directions from extraterrestrials. This one-of-a-kind 38-foot high, 55-foot diameter, all wood dome was designed to be an electrostatic generator for the purpose of rejuvenation and time travel.
The location of the Integratron is an essential part of its functioning. It was built on an intersection of powerful geomagnetic forces that, when focused by the unique geometry of the building, concentrate and amplify the earth’s magnetic field. Magnetometers read a significant spike in the earth’s magnetic field in the center of the Integratron.
