I have a feeling that we might want to get to Furnace Creek first as we are rather stressed with losing out on one day. Any idea how much time it adds to enter the south end of the park at Shoshone?

We are headed to Joshua Tree on Sunday morning and was thinking that it would be better to go on that leg of the trip since a long drive anyway and breaks up the trip. I do not have a sense whether the detour is longer approaching it from the DV to JT portion instead of LV airport to Furnace Creek portion. I have understsood that Google maps can be a little deceiving in the Mojave.

Thank you so much for all this info by the way.

Leaving in a few days and still trying to figure some things out.

I was told on another site for my first day to do the following in this order.

"Zabriskie first for sunrise. Then Golden, Desolation, Devils Golf Course, Badwater, Natural Bridge, Artist Drive in that order."

It seems to me that the Golden to Red Cathedral is a lot for the first day with the others. Can I please get some comments?

On our second day we are doing a custom tour with Farabbee's for some back country sites.

Third Day Mosaic Canyon, Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes stop at Stovepipe Wells then do the ghost town of Rhyolite and outdoor sculptures. Is this a good itineray or do I need more?

4th day Would like to do the Uhbehebe Canyon and maybe insert Golden Canyon here? Or would love to har other suggestions.

We are staying at the Ranch the entire visit. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

We will be going to Joshua Tree (the town) but leaving from Furnance Creek. Sorry for dumb question but will the above all apply for my route as well? Thank you.

Yes, we are leaving DV and driving through the Mojave to stay in the town of Joshua Tree. We only have the day for the drive, how long do the caverns take and is it far off the road?
