The National Park offers 90 minutes tours of the Keys Ranch from October - May. The ranch was originally built in 1910 so its very interesting just walking around to see all of the buildings, tools and cars. You can reserve tickets at Recreation .gov

The Keys Ranch is the prime example of early settlement in the Joshua Tree National Park area. Bill Keys was the area's leading character, and his ranch is a symbol of the resourcefulness of early settlers. The ranch is an extensive complex of small frame buildings built between 1910 and Keys' death in 1964.

Bill Keys is an icon of the high desert, referred to locally as Mr. Keys, although he passed away many years ago. He brought his city-bred wife out to the Mojave after he had bought the Desert Queen mine in 1918. They built their homestead ranch, raised and homeschooled 4 children (three had passed) and when he wasn't blowing up boulders to make grazing land for his cattle, or hand-building dams, he created a lasting legend by being so successful and resourceful in such a demanding environment. He did jail time too for the murder of the local sheriff. But was pardoned 5 years later!

Tours are typically available October-May, tickets are required and can be reserved ahead of time on: Recreation.gov In the high desert country that was to become Joshua Tree National Park, rugged individuals tried their luck at cattle ranching, mining, and homesteading. The story of William F. Keys and his family in particularly representative of the hard work and ingenuity it took to settle and prosper in the Mojave Desert. The ranger-guided tour of the ranch includes the colorful story of the 60 years Bill and Frances spent working together to make a life and raise their five children in this remote location. The ranch house, school house, store and workshop still stand; the orchard has been replanted; and the grounds are full of the cars, trucks, mining equipment, and spare parts that are part of the Desert Queen Ranch story.
