California Welcome Centers in the Deserts
The warm air may draw you here, but any number of other attractions will keep you coming back. It could be the innovative spas in Desert Hot Springs, the outdoor adventures in the desert, art galleries in Palm Desert, hot air ballooning over Joshua Tree, or the hundreds of birds at the Salton Sea.
The California Welcome Centers are a great place to gather information, eat, relax and explore the scenic beauty of the desert! The California Welcome Center Barstow is in the heart of the Mojave Desert within the Tanger Outlets just 150 miles from Los Angeles. The Yucca Valley California Welcome Center is found on State Route 62 and offers information and resources for the California Desert Visitor.
