Climbing up - then sprinting down - the gigantic Kelso Dunes was an invigorating experience! It gave me a fantastic new appreciation for the rich diversity found in our desert national, parks!
Sincerely,

Greetings from Mojave National Preserve
America's southwestern deserts are such special places. We love the Mojave Preserve's beautiful natural cactus gardens, rocky terrain, and panoramic vistas. Hard to believe such places still exist in southern California!
