On 7/20/2024, Me and my mom went to the Western National Parks Association and saw a video about some desert National Parks.
There are four deserts in the southwestern United States.
The Mojave Desert, located primarily in southeastern California and Southern Nevada.
The Sonoran Desert, which occurs in southern Arizona and extends into California, and well into Mexico. It is considered by some to be the biologically richest desert in the world.
The Chihuahuan Desert, which occurs mainly in Mexico but extends north into Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
The Great Basin, which is located in Nevada, Utah and parts of California, Oregon and Idaho.
Here is a list of some of the parks that are in the desert areas:
Great Basin – Nevada
Dinosaur – Utah/Colorado
Death Valley – California
Joshua Tree – California
Sequino – California
Big Bend – Texas
White Sands – New Mexico
Grand Sands Dunes – Colorado
