Rocks: rocks and rock formations in and around The Mojave Desert

By Jack Brummet, Travel Editor

I was fascinated by the rock formations we saw in, and around, The Mojave desert this week. There are many more I wanted to see, but time was limited. Here are some of my favorite rocks:

The cactus garden at Joshua Tree National Park

by Jack Brummet

While it is called a garden, nothing was planted, or taken out of this garden. Like many places the desert, the soil, and relative availability of water determines these odd gatherings of plants. This cactus garden has several different kinds of cactus, but mainly cholla. And they are nasty if you brush up against one--I did once years ago in the Sonoran desert.
