The Field Atlas
0/363Desert chapter · 33.87° N · 115.90° W
Two deserts meeting: Mojave yucca woodland and a lower Colorado creosote basin, studded with monzogranite boulder piles.
Joshua trees are giant yuccas. The boulders are weathered plutons — climbing problems left by cooling magma. Keys View looks west over the San Andreas and a sea of haze.
