For those of you who don't want to mess around with the GPS BS, I heard it's right around the 33rd mile marker on the south side of the highway. Can anyone confirm this?
And then blackturtle.us replied:
That's correct! I visited the U2 Joshua Tree this last week and it's about three-tenths of a mile south of the 33rd mile marker. There's a good pull out for parking about 150 yards before the 33rd mile marker, BTW. Also, FYI, the markers on the south side of the highway are marked in miles like this: 33.0, 34.0, etc. The markers on the north side of the highway are marked in half miles like this: 33.5, 32.5, etc. The numbers get smaller as you travel towards Lone Pine.
For the sake of clarity, the parking spot is 150 yards west of the marker and on the south side of highway 190.
