Book Description

Travel and Local Interest January 5, 2010
Newly revised and updated with the cooperation of the National Park Service! With a thousand miles of desert roads and hundreds of natural attractions beckoning, Mojave is the third-largest national parkland in the U.S. Just a four-hour drive from LA, visitors can explore the wonders of Hole-in-the-Wall, the Mojave River, Kelso Dunes and Mitchell Caverns and tour the world's largest Joshua tree forest, Fort Piute, Kelso Depot and Zzyzx, enchanted canyons and intriguing summits of a dozen mountain ranges.

The book features ten tours that direct visitors to the preserveÂ’s highlights: the Mojave River Basin, Lava Beds, Providence Mountains and much more. The tours describe natural and historical features, day hikes, picnic areas, campsites and towns with clear maps and directions, nature and history notes and more.

The authors have been writing about this desert, and championing its preservation, for more than a decade and Preserve staff lent its expertise in support of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good info!, September 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mojave National Preserve: A Visitor's Guide (Travel and Local Interest) (Paperback)
This book has some great information about the Mojave National Preserve area, including not only well known sites but sites that few people have heard of. There is also a great section on the history of the area, on the animals in the area, desert survival tips, etc. It's a book that every visitor who plans on spending quality time at the Mojave National Preserve should read before going. When I say "quality time", I mean that you plan on getting out of your vehicle and walking around, really noticing what the desert has to offer (i.e. plant life, rock formations, etc).
