Overview

A few uncommon sites here make this area worthy of a visit. First up is the mysterious Mojave Megaphone; a steel tubular sculpture propped up on a jagged, rocky hilltop. Who built and placed this oddity is just as much a mystery as its purpose. Next is the Kitchen; a collection of rock-stacked wood-burning ovens. And last, at Mesquite Spring, where it appears to have once been an active hot spring, you'll find a bathtub hidden in a tree.
