The 3rd Love Your Park Food & Drink Tour begins today and goes through Sunday February 16th. The now annual event highlights local bars and restaurants throughout the Morongo Basin who have created a unique Love Your Park menu item. A portion of the proceeds go toward critical programs and initiatives in Joshua Tree National Park such as Desert Tortoise and Bighorn Sheep monitoring programs, Plant restoration, and an expanded West Entrance Information Station.
It’s easy to participate – there are 10 destinations stretching from Twentynine Palms to Pioneertown across Joshua Tree and throughout Yucca and Morongo Valley with Love Your Park menu items. The 29 Palms Inn is rocking some Arch Rock Cakes and Barker Dam Curry – and the Copper Room is serving up a Seared Tofu Sandwich and Gram-arita Cocktail. Fronter Cafe has a local Mojave Grain Salad and the JT Country Kitchen has breakfast options with a Prickly Pear cheesecake. Pappy and Harriets is serving up Trailblazer Toddies and Post Park Pours, and the Roadrunner Grab & Go is representing with Minerva Hoyt Wraps. Rocky’s Pizza has flatbread apps and the Snakebite Roadhouse has a Negroni Slushi Cocktail, and the Spaghetti Western has a Prickly Pear Cocktail.
The Tiny Pony Tavern has drinks and Love Your Park Papas – and they will also be hosting a National Park trivia brunch on Sunday, February 16th.
