This pristine desert landscape is a beautiful tapestry of red rocks, Joshua trees and cactus ranges nestled between mountains, meadows and pastures. There is the beauty of the desert with Joshua trees, mesquite, bush muley, Indian rice, and two wild grasses favored by the longhorn cattle that run here, often on open range. Panoramic views capture the essence and power of enough natural beauty to take your breath away. Outdoors people love it, as do photographers.
