High Desert Museum


This was a very interesting and informative museum.  It somewhat reminded me of the Cody Museum in Cody, Wyoming.  There were many exhibits on the life of local indians and lifestyles of the early settlers of this area.  There were live and stuffed animals.  We observed a live bobcat, lynx, porcupine, otter, and bald eagle.  A currator would discuss the habits and lifestyles of these animals at different exibits at scheduled times.  We toured a 1900's style logging mill and actors dressed in period clothing answered questions from tourists about lifestyle during that time.  The grounds are situated in the forest and you are welcome to bring your lunch or dine at their restaurant inside or under the trees.  Plan on at least 3 hours to complete this tour.  Notice the unique fence made of little branches.
