The deserts of Southern California occupy a quarter of the state. Untouched but for the three million acres used for military bases, this hot and often inhospitable wilderness exerts a powerful fascination for venturesome travelers. There are two distinct regions: the Colorado or Low Desert in the south, which is the most easily reached from LA, containing the opulent artificial oasis of Palm Springs and the primeval expanse of Joshua Tree ; and the Mojave or High Desert , dominated by Death Valley and stretching along Hwy-395 up to the sparsely populated Owens Valley ,
infamous as the place from which the city of Los Angeles stole its water.
It is impossible to do justice to this area without your own wheels. Palm Springs can be reached on public transportation, but only the periphery of Joshua Tree is accessible and it's a long hot walk to anywhere very interesting. You can get as far as Barstow on Greyhound and Amtrak, but no transportation traverses Death Valley, leaving only the Owens Valley with its daily Greyhound service between LA and Reno
