Lucerne Valley & Vicinity
Lucerne Valley, in the Mojave Desert of Southern California, is a small community with a rich history and natural beauty. Originally home to the Serrano people, it became a key stage stop at Rabbit Springs for travelers and settlers. The area developed through agriculture, supported by underground aquifers, and mining for gold and silver in nearby mountains. Surrounded by dramatic desert landscapes and dry lakebeds, the valley offers recreation like hiking, off-roading, and stargazing. Lucerne Valley's rural charm and close community make it a gateway to Mojave Desert adventures.
