Get OUTSIDE

Camp and Explore with us through the eastern side of Joshua Tree down to the Houser Geode Beds (11/14/25 - 11/16/25)

 

Bring your families and camp with us on BLM land as we explore some of the trails, mines and Geode beds from Joshua Tree to the Houser Geode Beds.

 

This is a 2 night adventure where we will be starting on the north side of Joshua Tree, where our trail will take us past Ok, Brooklyn and Mission mines. We will keep heading south through Eagle Mountain mine and drive though it's abandoned mining town.  We will then continue to the Houser Geode Beds to search for geodes, thunder eggs, agates and more!

 

Two Part Trip: If you can't make it on the first part of the trip, come out to the Geode beds and join us on Saturday.
