MOJAVE DESERT (for other deserts, go back to the previous page)
|
|
Before reaching our Mojave site, we stopped to camp in Joshua Tree National Park, and just had to do some rock climbing. | We also stopped at a real oasis in Joshua Tree National Park, . . . . . . . |
|
|
. . . . . . . . and drove past a cholla "forest" | Prickly-pear were also common and sometimes in bloom. |
|
|
The Mojave desert has lots of lizard species . . . . . . . . . | . . . . . . . . . but they are hard to catch |

Speaking of catching things, we managed to catch a Mojave rattlesnake when we were at the BYU field station in SW Utah. |
