Tips from the community

Mojave National Preserve is a spectacular stop on a California National Parks road trip, offering travelers a chance to experience its diverse desert landscape, which includes sand dunes, canyons, and volcanic formations. As the third-largest unit in the National Park System within the contiguous United States, the preserve boasts a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and stargazing. En route to or from other iconic destinations like Joshua Tree National Park or Death Valley National Park, a visit to the Mojave National Preserve allows road-trippers to encounter less-crowded trails and a stunning array of desert flora and fauna.
