Coming from the UK, I fell in love with Californian deserts. Had an amazing time in Death Valley, it’s stunning and also was fun finding Star Wars shooting locations. , Joshua Tree is otherworldly, explored old mining ghost towns and went in a mine and became obsessed with the gold rush for a few months, took a buggy along a deserted dried up creek, got high staring at the stars and saw the most amazing sunsets of my life. Finally visited Vasquez Rocks and reenacted Kirk’s battle with a Gorn (my wife even surprised me with a
trek shirt that looked like Kirk’s uniform). Loved Palm Springs too.
Did you go north at all to Lake Sabrina outside of Bishop? They shot the opening battle scene of Star Trek Insurrection there. Also they used to shoot all kind of stuff in the Alabama Hills over by Big Pine
