Introduksjon

Mojave National Preserve er et stort område i California som omfatter deler av tre store nordamerikanske ørkener. Det har varierte landskap, inkludert gamle fjellkjeder, sanddyner og vulkanske formasjoner. Mange reisende kommer for å utforske den unike geologien og den rike økologien, som inkluderer eldgamle steiner som er over 2,5 milliarder år gamle.

Besøkende kan gå turer som Cima Dome og Hole-in-the-Wall Nature Trail, eller nyte terrengsykling og firehjulstrekk. Imidlertid mangler reservatet kommersielle overnattings- og spisemuligheter, så det er viktig å planlegge på forhånd for et komfortabelt besøk.
