From
desert wildflowers in the spring to the warm winds of the autumn night, the deserts do have seasons. The windy season, when winter storms bring rain to mountains nearby, but the dunes lay in 'rain shadow'. The hot season, triple digit heat possible from late spring to early autumn (avoid travel). High Deserts, Low Deserts, Sand Dunes, Palm Oasis, Hot Springs, Ghost Towns and of course, Mining Camps. These beautifully bare lands of the Golden State, offer magnificent views & a solitude found nowhere else. Historic train stations, volcanic lava tubes, huge cavern & a million burnt Joshua trees - all right off I-40. Huge boulders, sand dunes & many trails await your exploration.
