About California Welcome Center

 The Yucca Valley California Welcome Center is managed by the Desert Regional Tourism Agency (DRTA). We are one of 23 welcome centers in California. During your visit stop by our visitor center where one of our friendly ambassadors will help you plan your stay. At that time you will receive free maps and suggestions of places to see as well as where to eat and stay when visiting the Joshua Tree National Park area.

Furthermore, you’ll find a gift shop where you can purchase a wide variety of souvenirs and unique items made by local artists. Many of our items can be purchased online too. Then have them conveniently delivered to your home. Shop online at: www.joshuatreegiftstore.com. Above all, let us be your one stop shop for travel and community information.
