Wonder Valley, the unincorporated rural enclave east of 29 Palms, is a burgeoning oasis of artists, musicians, and those seeing refuge from hectic urban life. A local hotspot, The Palms, is a music and dining venue worth visiting. Visitors to Wonder Valley can explore nature in the wild beauty that is the Cleghorn Lakes Wilderness Area, a 40,000-acre preserve accessible from Amboy Road.
