What if there was a dedicated @basinbikepath for all of Joshua Tree (aka the Morongo Basin)? Imagine a basin-wide loop, starting in Yucca Valley > Joshua Tree > Twentynine Palms, even going through @joshuatreenps , and eventually ending in downtown JT @jt_saloon for a much deserved celebratory meal 🚵🏜️🍔🍻 As a desert bicyclist, this has been a dream of mine for quite some time. Unfortunately however, this effort is long overdue and generally bicycling is quite dangerous out here. In just the past few weeks, there have been two tragic bicycle-related deaths in the Morongo Basin. One in 29 on August 25th, and one just down the street from me in Yucca on September 5th. Being a resident of Yucca, I decided to attend the @townofyuccavalley Town Council meeting, this past Tuesday September 16 2025, and make public comment on this. Next up is @cityof29palms and eventually @sbcounty . This video is an attempt to workshop this idea and highlight the issue with the community, near and far. Please feel free to spread the word and let me know what you think! thx 🤠

I thought you liked danger.. Real talk, what pushed me into action for the @basinbikepath was seeing two bicycle-related deaths happen in the same week last fall. People walking and biking in the basin are vulnerable, and I think about that every time I ride. It’s one of the main reasons I’m so passionate about this project. A basin-wide path could make the hi-desert safer, more connected, and more accessible for everyone. . . . #apex #netflix #joshuatree #yuccavalley #29palms

We’re going to Sacramento! 🚴 A few months ago, we stood in front of the @townofyuccavalley Council to share a vision: a bike path connecting the Morongo Basin. This week, we brought that same vision to the @cityof29palms Council and shared some exciting news: we’ve been invited by @calbikeorg to attend the 2026 California Bicycle Summit happening next week in Sacramento. This is how change happens - starting with an idea, building community support, and showing up. We’re excited to learn, connect, and bring back ideas to help make this vision a reality in the dez. Follow along as we take the Basin Bike Path to Sacramento!

🚨 Bike gas prices have hit an all-time low: $0.00 Meanwhile… ⛽😬 Imagine getting around the basin without worrying about gas… Would you ride more if we had safer bike paths out here? What would you spend your “saved gas money” on?

What do the best bike paths in SoCal have in common? 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀. We’ve been digging into some of Southern California’s most successful bike paths, and there’s a clear pattern: they follow flood control channels. You already know about the amazing @cv_link down the hill, but have you explored the Santa Ana River Trail? This paved path stretches nearly 60 miles across two major sections, including more than 20 miles through San Bernardino & Riverside Counties, plus another 30 miles from Corona through Orange County, all the way to the ocean 🌅 Here’s the exciting part for the hi-dez: Did you know we already have a wash that’s county flood control property? It runs east–west through Yucca Valley, crossing Hwy 62 at John’s Place, passing south of Brehm Soccer Park & Little League fields, south of the BMX Track, north of the airport, through Paradise Valley, and all the way to Joshua Tree - crossing Sunburst at the park. From there, it continues along the north side of town past CMC, further east to Lear, and eventually connects to 29 Palms. And guess what? 29 Palms is already moving forward with their own City-Wide Channel Trail (more on that soon 👀)! #BasinBikePath #HiDesert #YuccaValley #JoshuaTree #29palms

All I want... is a bike path (@cv_link ) in the hi-desert 🙏🎁 Share if you want this too! 🎅✨ #bicycle #bikepath #joshuatree #mariahcarey #christmas

New episode is out now!!! We talk all about the possibility of a bike path throughout the Basin. I hope you enjoy it

What would the economic benefits of a dedicated bike path and more bicycling infrastructure look like? Why aren’t we promoting culling in the Morongo basin?

Eric from Basin Bike Path will be guest this Friday and we get deep into what it’s gonna take to get a cycling path all through the basin. How cool would that be ??

What do you think about a @basinbikepath loop? Imagine biking *safely* from @townofyuccavalley > @visit_joshuatree > @cityof29palms > @joshuatreenps , ending in downtown JT. We all know Hwy 62 isn't ideal.. but let's talk about options to make something like this possible! 🏜️🚵🙏
