    Coming to you from Twentynine Palms, California

Welcome to the online den of The Sun Runner Magazine, The Magazine of California Desert Life & CultureWe’re based in Twentynine Palms, California, an “Oasis of Murals” in the Mojave Desert, next to Joshua Tree National Park, the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, and the neighboring hi-desert communities of Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, Morongo Valley, Landers, Wonder Valley, Johnson Valley and Pioneertown, collectively known as the Morongo Basin and/or the hi-desert (not the “high” desert, like Lancaster and Palmdale).
Now in our 14th year of publishing, we have grown to
cover, and are distributed throughout, the California deserts, reaching more than 30,000 print readers each issue, from El Centro to Ridgecrest - and beyond. We are the only California deserts-wide media, and we are homegrown, and independent - not one of those slick “desert” publications that think all there is to the desert is country clubs and golf (though we don’t have anything against the game).
We are passionately of, by, & for the desert, and we’ve been that way since we began publishing in January, 1995.  And it doesn’t look like we’re getting any less that way in the 21st Century. Thanks for stopping by.....
