Wildflower season spans the Springtime months, however, the Fall is also a great time to visit this California State Park. Its eight miles of trails wind through western Mojave Desert grasslands.
Watch for critters such as scorpions and lizards, gopher and rattlesnakes, coyote and bobcat.

  4. Gorgeous image!!! I used to live in the Mojave Desert, and miss the swaths of color, brown hills, and blue blue sky you've captured here. I don't miss the triple-digit summer temps or the fact everything in nature seemed like it was trying to kill ya. That reminds me, you have to also watch out for black widow and brown recluse spiders.
