As you head South on Pinto Basin Road you’ll see – as if out of nowhere – these amazing yellow cactuses. There are thousands of them everywhere!!
Most Cholla are found in Mexico, so it’s a treat to see them here but be warned. First, you’ll see signs for bees and they are not kidding. The cactus where in bloom when we visited and there were more bees than cactus – and they were swarming everywhere. Our boys didn’t like it, but they didn’t bother me when I was taking photos – just beware if you have an allergy.

As the name suggests, this restaurant/bar has a kitschy Old West aesthetic, and after three beers and a whiskey shot, you’re completely fine with it. The menu is full of burgers, sandwiches and big plates of meat, and while nothing will blow you away, it’s what you need after a long day of taking photos of big rocks.
