Another great detour well worth the stop. Nice up close views even from the van.
Awesome views of the river.
Could call this Whistling Pines, at night the wind comes down the canyon. Smoking area is protected from the wind and weather. No restaurants within walking distance.
Only issue was when we checked in they did not ask who else was staying in the room. When my wife's room key did not work, they took her key and would not give her a new one because she was not listed as a guest. Plus with all the plush carpet in the casino and the LONG hallway to the room her scooter battery ran very low.
Well worth the drive. Great up close view of the trees.
Had the balcony room, nice view of the Eel River and distant view of the ocean. Dinner was a pasta bar, cooked to order, add what you wanted. Very good.
Hotel staff was great in getting us switched to an ADA room. Missed breakfast by 5 minutes, could not even get coffee for the road. Great location, walked to the Angels Stadium.
Had planned on going to Cima because of the Joshua Trees. Stayed on the main road between Nipton and I-15 after seeing many of the trees.
Just a diner, good food, but that was it.
In my opinion this was the best views of the canyon. We did not go to the top of the tower, but in the base and at the point the view was fantastic. Well worth the stop!
