Tigerswood my trip was LA > Joshua Tree > Palm Springs
We did stay in Santa Monica, but I’m hardly qualified to give recs, though happy to share our itinerary.
I very highly recommend Joshua Tree. Otherworldly place, I’ve not seen anything like the cactus garden especially. Felt like Mars.
Very cool. Will consult with the wife on Joshua Tree. She seems to have her mind set on sticking near the coast, but we'll see. My thoughts to sneak in some mountains/skiing at either Big Bear or Mammoth have also been met with very little interest.
I went to Mammoth once in college, and forgot how absolutely in the middle of nowhere it is. 5+ hours from both LA and SFO. Awesome place though.
