Your guide to Needles

All About Needles

Historically a stopover for travelers on their way to Las Vegas, the small Southern Californian community of Needles has become a jumping-off point for exploring the Mojave Desert in several protected nature areas. Located just minutes from the Nevada border along the Colorado River, the town sits at the doorstep of Mojave National Reserve, Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, Dead Mountains Wilderness Area, and the otherworldly landscapes they encompass. Nostalgic road trippers pass through Needles on their adventures along historic Route 66. Should you decide to exit your vehicle, expect to encounter cacti and agave as far as the eye can see. And in the temperate months, you can hike arid landscapes, climb towering peaks in the Chemehuevi Mountains, and swim and boat on the Colorado River, where you can cast a line for carp and striped bass.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Needles

The climate of the Mojave Desert is characterized by blistering heat and a near-total lack of rainfall. There are minor variations in temperature throughout the year. Summers in the region are searingly hot — the hottest temperatures on earth have been recorded in the Mojave Desert — and conditions are characteristically arid, making many of the area’s outdoor attractions uncomfortable for many. The winters and shoulder seasons tend to be cooler, and rain is always a rare event. Trips outside of the summer can be excellent times to book vacation rentals in Needles and make the most of the California sun. However, regardless of the time of year, it’s important to pack breathable clothing and bring plenty of water when you’re out and about.


Top things to do in Needles

Lake Havasu

Less than an hour from town, this reservoir is an oasis in the desert, with its sparkling waters and more than 400 miles of coastlines. Popular as a spring break destination, Lake Havasu has plenty to offer throughout the year as a premier boating and fishing spot. Towering red cliffs, winding canyons, and waterfalls and beaches make this a pleasant place to escape the desert heat.

Chemehuevi Mountains Wilderness

Boasting some of the most stunning desert scenery in all of Southern California, this wilderness area begins just outside of town and provides access to a host of outdoor activities. You can hike and horseback ride through rugged countryside dotted with agave and ocotillo, climb the stark granite ranges, and take a cooling dip in the Colorado River.

Mitchell Caverns

Located an hour west of town in the middle of the Mojave National Preserve, the Mitchell Caverns are a collection of caves underneath the Providence Mountains. These striking limestone formations create an alien landscape for exploration, with maintained walking trails passing underneath dripping stalactites and between impressive stalagmites.
