We left 29 palms and the Joshua Tree NP early to cross the Mojave Desert on our way to Las Vegas, NV. We drove straight through the desert for 4 hours. It was not that hot and the desert was green for a lot of the way since a hurricane 2 weeks earlier dropped 5 to 8 inches of rain on it. There were several different types of terrain. We went over mountains, through washes, through basins and salt flats, past desert sands and drove on a portion of the old Route 66.

Black mountains in the desert |
Miles and miles of barren desert |
A long train crossing the desert floor |
Evidence of volcanoes |
Multicolored mountains |
