Parks & Nature
Parque Nacional Joshua Tree
Within Joshua Tree National Park, you can drive to this site, 5000 ft + up into the park. By day you will pass some of the oldest Joshua Trees in the park on Keys View Road. At the top you have 360 degree views that include 2 of the tallest mountains in So. Cal, the Salton Sea, the Desert Cities from Palm Springs to Indian Wells, and even, on a clear day.... all the way to Mexico! By night, it may be one of the best spots for Star Gazing. (Although, you do see city lights from the Palm Springs area from there as well).

9697 Utah Trail is where the Observatory and Nature Center is located for Star Gazing! http://www.skysthelimit29.org/
Also, Arch Rock in JTNP is also a great place view the stars.
To get to the Arch Rock trailhead: From the intersection with Park Boulevard and Pinto Basin Road, 4.5 miles south of the north entrance, head west on Pinto Basin Road for 2.7 miles to White Tank Campground. Enter the campground and proceed to the trailhead near site #9
PS - I don't know what that Adobe Rd address is. Mapquest pulled it up and it's incorrect. Check the website and/or call for specific directions to the Observatory.

Starbucks

If the salsa they serve with your chips is not spicy enough for your taste, tell them you heard they might have another spicier version. It's only served on request to those who know. ;-)
