Town/City Overview    
Twentynine Palms is a strong desert community of approximately 27,000 people, that sits between the 800,000  acres Joshua Tree National Park and the largest U.S. Marine Corps base. Founded on a history of gold prospectors and cattlemen of the late 1800s, a pioneer spirit and love of history permeates the town.

Now the set is home to shoot outs and bank robberies that help visitors relive the old west.
