Frequently Asked Questions


Where is Hidden Passage Guest Ranch?

Hidden Passage is located in center of the desert and one of the few places actually in the Sand to Snow National Monument.  We are halfway between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park.  Easy to reach - north up Hwy 62  from the I-10 at Palm Springs.  Google the 92256 Zip Code.


What's in the Neighborhood?

Hidden Passage is at the nexus of the high and low deserts.  One way to Joshua Tree and the other direction to the low desert of Palm Springs.  25 minutes to Palm Springs . . . Joshua Tree National Park . . . Pioneer Town . . .  Cabazon.  (PS 110 minutes to downtown LA.)


Is your pool heated?

Our pool is solar heated.  Pool season practically speaking begins about April 1 and ends around October 1.   For the hearty, the pool is always available.  Our warm winter sun can make the pool a year round relaxation destination.

 

Do you have 4 seasons . . . which is the best season?

The high desert is a year around climate.  We do not have the scorching heat of the low desert in the summer.  For many, the summers are the best with the cool mornings and dreamy gentle evenings with late summer light.


Will I feel safe there . . . its sounds huge?!

The mountains surround our village and many speak to an experience a profound sense of peacefulness and security within minutes of arriving.  (It will be one of the quietest places you will ever be.)  It has been interesting to find many of our guests are woman (sans men.)  As said in reviews, there are other guests and staff always around, so no one is ever alone . . . unless they choose to be.
