If you are the kind of person who stops to see the strange roadside stuff like a giant ball of…read moretwine (Kansas), giant donut (Los Angeles), and worlds largest file cabinet (Vermont), then this stop is for you. VW Beetle sprouted spider legs. Quick stop for a cool photo. Then you can stop at the dinosaurs (if you know, you know).

It was so so windy leaving town, but as many times as I've been close to this spider I had to…read morecapture it, even from across the street. It's such an iconic design being part vehicle part spider - Volkswagen meets Arachnid at the intersection of Garnet Avenue / Indian Canyon Drive directly across from Yamana Motor Sports and directly next to Jack in the Box The Pilot Gas Station and Chevron Station sit opposite on the other corners of this small business intersection just before the the off/on ramp for the 10 fwy in North Palm Springs. Even if you're able to park somewhere safe and securely (like Jack in the Box), you can't go fully onto the physical property itself - but you can get a great pic or look. From what I know the Spider Bug was built by Robert Miner who owned and ran the Hole in the Wall repair shop for several decades from the 70s to the 1990s according to old articles in the Desert Sun - I believe it's still home and/or property to his daughter and family. Not sure if they reside permanently here, but always be respectful and mindful of people's homes as well as private property - especially home to an iconic Spider Bug.

Strawberry peak fire lookout tower what a wonderful place to visit. They are open daily; keep in…read moremind no smoking and no dogs. There are a few spaces for parking and the gates were opened when I arrived. There are a few flights of stairs so I got to it and I was met upstairs by a volunteer. He gave me a run down of the history (ex: it was named after a strawberry farm owned by a man named Bart) and he even pointed out popular spots off in the distance. Impressive mountainous views on top of the 30 ft tower built in 1934. There are multiple other peak tower lookouts around and best of all it's free--donations are accepted. All in all this was a nice visit and one way to quiet all the noise in nature.

Such an incredible view and fun hike!…read more The hike itself is easy/moderate walking up the road. Definitely a hike that you can do with people of any experience level. There aren't too many cars that go by, but it is good to be mindful of cars that could be going down or driving up in the parts of the street that overlap with some of the residential houses. The hike itself is maybe a mile depending on if you start all the way at the bottom of the road or park a little bit up. When you get to the strawberry Peak fire lookout, you get to go up into the lookout tower. If you are afraid of heights or claustrophobic, this might be a little uncomfortable since you are going up into the little metal lookout and you can feel the wind move the building and see-through the metal slats to the ground. If you can handle it, the views are so worth it! You get to learn about the history of the lookout tower and you get a full 360 view around the mountain. For nature lovers this is a really cool experience. If you are with any small kids, the Rangers also give out little cards and tend to have a fun pin or something for kids. Just make sure to go during hours that they are open. If the tower is closed, you will not be able to go up in it, but you can still see some of the nice view.
