Tours

A-Z West consists of 80 acres in the California high desert adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park. For over 20 years these grounds and dwellings functioned as Andrea Zittel's testing grounds for living - a place in which spaces, objects, and acts of living all intertwine into a single ongoing investigation into what it means to exist and participate in our culture today.

High Desert Test Sites hosts two public tours per month as a key source of income for A-Z West stewardship and HDTS programing. This 90-minute tour includes the grounds of A-Z West, studio and showroom, Wagon Station Encampment, and shipping container compound. It involves walking outside on unshaded dirt paths. Comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and a water bottle are highly recommended. If you have access-related questions about your visit to an HDTS site or program, contact us at info@hdts.site or 760-507-4190.

To inquire about a private or educational group tour please email info@hdts.site. We ask the public to respect the designated ways to visit. Visitors may not show up on A-Z West grounds unannounced or without an appointment outside of posted visiting hours.
