Finally a short jaunt brings you down to Joshua Tree for the evening where you can enjoy the incredible night sky views.

Explore the strange rock outcroppings and coral-like vegetation as you drive through Joshua Tree National Park. In the afternoon, wind your way up out of the desert and into the hills of the Temecula Valley. Treat yourself to a delicious meal at one of the Temecula Valley wineries and enjoy the scenic vineyards.
