"After doing two shots of Fireball and rehashing old friend drama at Pappy & Harriett’s, it’s time to get back in good graces with everyone at the vacation rental. Get up early and head to Luna for the best pastries in the High Desert. Located in Yucca Valley, this cute roadside bakery with a giant yucca palm out front specializes in small-batch sourdough kneaded by hand, including ciabatta and focaccia that sell out in minutes and pastries like cardamom buns, flaky croissants, and savory danishes. Grab some sandwiches for a post-hike lunch as well. photo credit: Brant Cox" - Brant Cox
