Mojave National
Preserve is overlooked by many as they zoom thru Interstate

BLM lands surrounding
offer amazingly scenic primitive camping options, plus plenty
dirt roads to test out your new sport utility vehicle.
Anza Borrego
Desert has so many dirt roads to wander. The wildflowers bloom March thru May . So make a point to get out and use that sport utility vehicle this year. There are plenty of back
roads to discover.
