Intro

Mojave National Preserve was created in October, 1994 when Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act. Congress acted to protect one of the most diverse desert environments in the world. The area ranges from creosote bush dominated flats in low areas to pinyon pine and juniper woodlands in higher elevations. Everywhere there are surprises. Sand dunes, volcanic cinder cones, Joshua tree forests, vast vistas and mile-high mountains help define this amazing area within the Mojave Desert.

With 1.6 million acres of desert, there is a lot to learn about in this lovely and isolated corner of California. Scroll down this page for basic information, or visit our expanded website to learn about recreation opportunities, desert ecology and much more.
