Hole in the Wall to Mid Hills scenic detour – Mojave Desert

One of the least visited parks in California, the Mojave National Preserve offers great value for photographers and outdoor enthusiasts. The desert landscape is especially interesting for purists who love to explore shapes, light and color free from distractions.

Desert landscapes look barren only at first glance. Upon closer inspection, they reveal an immense beauty. Drive through this landscape with open eyes and you will want to pull over constantly to jump out of your car.

Kelso Dunes, Kelso Depot – Mojave National Preserve

Pure randomness determined the name of Kelso and the giant dune field southwest of town. Randomness also seems to govern the dune field and much of the desert around it, as patterns emerge from the sand and weather determines if you will have a good day in the field or not.

Amidst one of the least hospitable and least visited places in California, the Mojave National Preserve, Kelso Dunes and Kelso Depot are the most prominent and most visited feature. Unlike most other large dune fields, no ATVs tear up the beautiful landscape.
