Zeus (king of the Greek gods) is perhaps the most "VIP" accommodation, sitting higher up the canyon floor. It has expansive views overlooking the pool and out through the massive mountain walls of the name sake, Hidden Passage. A larger home with a private patio and expanse of windows to capture the views. Outdoor entertainment is greatly facilitated by the floor plan; may want to eat out everyday weather permitting. BBQ, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower and tub combo, each bedroom has a queen bed with memory foam mattress, closet, desk. Zeus has a smart TV, WiFi, air conditioning and heating. (There is also evaporative cooler as an option which is wonderful for health.)

Some of many Hidden Passage Amenities:

The mountain-water feed infinity pool for Panorama Pass Guests. The pool with 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains is open year-round for poolside lounging in the sun, even if the water is too cold for swimming. The solar heated swimming season starts when nights warm in Spring and usually goes through late Fall. Note: Due to weather conditions, in winter months the pool shade sails may be taken down.

Hike. Hidden Passage Guest Ranch is in a secluded 130-acre canyon – an island within the Sand to Snow National Monument - with miles of unforgettable hiking trails right outside your door. Both leisurely walks around the village property to advanced serious all-day hikes. Will rarely see a soul . . . unless our own guests. (Trail map in Apollo Community Center.)

High degree of privacy, the cottages spread across 25 acres so no worry about “too close” quarters. At the same time there is a community center, coffee café to hang out, meet others, get information about the area.

Quiet, serenity, spectacular star gazing, desert air relaxation, meditative even if not your practice!

Huge outdoor amphitheater.

Picnic areas.

Hidden Passage of Panorama Pass is in the center of everything, 20 minutes to Joshua Tree, 20 minutes to Palm Springs, 20 minutes to Pioneer Town, 90 minutes to LA. Note: Joshua Tree National Monument is an exotic and wonderful place but is at the “end of the road” for most desert adventures. Consider a location that is more central so as to have access to more of the plethora of desert offerings.)
