Of course shopping is an activity! We all know that. And we all know that congenial shopping adds to just about any vacation experience. It's always nice to remember the great time you had on vacation whenever you wear 'that hat'. So let's just lay out the shopping options in California's Secret Desert™. 
One neat thing about shopping here is that there are no national chains. Have you ever wondered why anyone would travel across the country and go shopping at the GAP? Here you will find unique, local stores with their own ideas of style and fashion. What a concept! It also means shopping here benefits real, local, people, not some global corporation - think of it - shopping as a true economic contribution to a local community.
