Mojave Desert, California
Location
Description
The Mojave (pronounced mo-har-vay) does not have sand dunes or large cacti, but instead is a land of rugged arid mountainous scrub land covered with millions of sage bushes.
Crossing the Mojave on any road marked on a road map is an interesting but perfectly safe thing to do, but it still advisable to join a group tour to experience all the rich history and the stories of the Mojave your guide has in store for you.
If you are crossing the southern Mojave on I-10 then we would highly recommend a visit to Joshua Tree National Park.
