Pioneertown

Yucca Valley, CA

Simir Shah

By Simir Shah

Built in 1946 as a working Old West movie set by Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, this dirt-street town lets families wander 1880s-style storefronts and catch free family-friendly mock gunfights on Mane Street most spring-to-fall weekends. Legendary Pappy & Harriet's is right there for a meal. Come earlier to beat the shadeless-street heat.
