The Mojave Desert is an arid rain-shadow desert and one of the driest desert. It is located within southeastern California and southern Nevada, with some small areas extend into Utah and Arizona.
The word "Mojave" is a shortened form of Hamakhaave, meaning 'beside the water'.
Majave attractions include:
1) Joshua trees, native only to the Mojave Desert. The desert has the densest concentration of Joshua trees in the world, mostly near Cima Dome.
2) Hole-in-the-Wall, a volcanic formations.
3) The conical outlines of dozens of remarkably well-preserved volcanic cinder cones and black basalt lava flows.
4) Kelso Depot is an old two-story Union Pacific train station built in the 1920s in the Spanish style. The depot narrowly escaped demolition in the 1980s before being taken over by the National Park Service and turned into a coffee shop.
5) Kelso Dunes, second highest sand dunes in California, up to 700 feet. They are created from wind that carries dust and is reflected off a mountain.
