California Desert Maps:

From the desert wildflowers in the spring to the warm winds in the autumn night, the deserts do have seasons. These bare lands offer magnificant views & a solitude found nowhere else. Unless you happen to stumble upon the off roaders with their machines near Dumont, Glamis or Jawbone. Historic train stations, volcanic lava tubes, huge caverns & large joshua tree forests - all right off I-40. Huge boulders, sand dunes & many trails await your exploration.
