Introductie

Mojave National Preserve is een uitgestrekt gebied in Californië dat delen van drie grote Noord-Amerikaanse woestijnen omvat. Het heeft diverse landschappen, waaronder oude bergketens, zandduinen en vulkanische formaties. Veel reizigers komen om de unieke geologie en rijke ecologie te verkennen, met onder andere oude rotsen die teruggaan tot 2,5 miljard jaar.

Bezoekers kunnen wandelpaden zoals de Cima Dome en Hole-in-the-Wall Nature Trail verkennen, of genieten van mountainbiken en off-road rijden. Houd er echter rekening mee dat er geen commerciële accommodaties en eetgelegenheden in het preserve zijn, dus plan vooruit voor een comfortabele bezoek.
