Please post your favorite things to do and places to see in and around Quartzsite, Arizona.

Here area few:

Palm Canyon is a magical place.  It is a hiking trail that follows a valley between two vertical cliffs.  There are palm trees high on the canyon walls and naturalists believe that they survived here from a time when the climate was wetter.  https://www.google.com/maps/place/P...fa281!8m2!3d33.362086!4d-114.0985231?hl=en-US

Spiral Labyrinth is on the way in to Palm Canyon.  https://www.google.com/maps/place/S...x80d6a9f5c9f6e961:0x85504c7bb5681e4c?hl=en-US

Castle Dome Mine Museum is an authentic old mining town with many museum exhibits.  The mines in this area produced millions of dollars of silver and gold.  There is an entry fee but I thought it was worth it.  https://www.google.com/maps/place/C...x80d69af9489e5b4d:0x65ea9c1270d846b6?hl=en-US

Stone Cabin is a wild west hamburger place with one of the areas oldest cabin ruins in the back yard.  You may need to buy a hamburger to see it.  If I remember correctly the cabin was built in the 1790's.  https://www.google.com/maps/@33.2663769,-114.2421013,20z/data=!3m1!1e3

The Magic Circle is in one of the LTVA boondocking areas and it has a number of geosculptures.  It is a naturist RV boondocking area and they have regular events such as yoga, dances and nature hikes.  It is only about 5 miles southeast from the RTR location as the crow flies, but you would have to drive back into Quartzsite to get there by car. Apparently day use of LTVA areas is permitted without payment, but to stay there requires $40 for two weeks or $180 for the winter. Check out some sculptures and catch some vitamin D.  https://www.google.com/maps/place/T...x80d157a2e47a50d3:0xda6bdf0b24b28827?hl=en-US
 
People should be aware that the Magic Circle is a clothing optional area on BLM land.
