Mojave National Preserve is a 1.6 million-acre protected area located in southeastern California. There are several good reasons to visit the park, including its stunning desert landscapes, unique geological formations, and abundant wildlife.

Some specific points of interest within the park include the Kelso Dunes, the volcanic cinder cones, and the Joshua tree forests. Visitors can also explore historic mining sites, Native American rock art, and abandoned homesteads.

Interesting facts about the area include that it is home to the world's largest single Joshua tree forest and the longest undeveloped stretch of Route 66. The Mojave National Preserve is also known for its extreme temperatures, with summer highs often exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit and winter lows occasionally dropping below freezing.

The best time of year to visit the park is during the spring or fall when temperatures are milder, and wildflowers are in bloom. However, visitors should be prepared for extreme weather conditions and bring plenty of water and sunscreen no matter what time of year they choose to visit.
