A must see, but go early especially on the weekends. The 29 Palms entrance can have less traffic. Pack your own food and water. No cell service inside the park. Stay on trails and don't get lost. Prepare for hot weather and cold nights. Wear layers. Barker Dam Trail is easy for beginners. Hidden Valley is nice for a picnic.
