齐步走123The Outlets Mall in Las Vegas, which can be the biggest outlets I have ever played, is very large in size. The brands are special, and many of the Lu brands are still relatively new, and the price is very affordable.

Museum

M32***23I had a lovely time at the Desert Discovery Center! It's a small but beautifully maintained museum focusing on local animal and plant species. They are active in maintaining some of the only remaining members of endangered species of fish. There are great educational exhibits and a wonderful garden outside which includes a pond of endagered fish and turtles. The staff, especially Natia, were super helpful and spent a lot of time explaining the exhibits. AND....there's the second biggest meteorite ever found in the USA! An absolute must.

City Park

M32***23I drove from Baker (I15) south to Interstate 40 via Kelso, I camped at Hole In the Wall Campground midweek in late January and it was pretty empty. By Friday morning, others were getting early spots. The campground was well maintained, flat (for tent), picnic bench, and fire ring. There were water spigots and clean pit toilets, Good easy access hiking in the immediate area. There are non developed campsites as well. See their website for more info.At night, the stars gazing is awesome but there is a visible glow from Las Vegas, but you can avoid that if you look south. Lots of 'critters' make their home in the desert, so prepare accordingly. For those with high clearance 4x4's there are many other places to explore. I'm going back!!!

Elmer Long's Bottle Tree Ranch

4.2/5

10 Reviews

爱耍的周大爷This bottle tree forest is on the road from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Be sure to get off the highway in the town of Victorville and take Route 66. It’s about 16 kilometers away. It’s not a big place and it’s easy to walk through. . The place is still interesting. It is said that a man named Elmer Lang has been collecting bottles and everything else left in the desert with his father since he was a child. Faced with thousands of glass bottles, he had a sudden inspiration to create The first bottle tree. After that, he created bottle trees with different shapes along the Route 66 in California, USA, and each bottle tree formed a unique bottle forest in the world. No tickets, but it is recommended to put some change in the Tips box!

Zoo

Todemmy[Scenery] The Big Bear Lake Zoo is located in the Big Bear Lake scenic area at an altitude of 7,000 feet. Many disabled animals are raised here. [Fun] Driving from the foot of the mountain all the way up the mountain, the beautiful scenery outside the mountain is fascinating, and you will pass by Lake Arrowhead along the way. The lake is also very clear. There are not many tourists here, so you can visit if you are interested.
