Interesting what's out there. I had to look up where the Orocopia Mountains are (basically on the other side of Interstate 10 from Joshua Tree NP).

You should go out there sometime. Just bring a Jeep.

Great TR, but I''ll pass on the chocolate mountain side of Salton Sea, thanks.

What little I've explored of the Orocopia Mountains and the Mecca Hills, I think it's beautiful. I finally checked out one of the Grotto areas in Mecca Hills the other day - very interesting. Also really nice are the Chuckwalla Mountains east of Orocopia. As Hal said, 4WD and high clearance does help to get around in the Orocopia or Chuckwalla Mountains.
