National Parks and Monuments in Southern California
Whether you’re in the mood for a dune buggy ride or want to go horseback riding, enjoy outdoor adventures in Southern California at the Mojave National Preserve. The stunning desert offers several options for outdoor recreation enthusiasts, including hiking, horseback riding, 4-wheel driving tours, and guided ranger programs. Don’t miss the stunning wildflowers in the spring and the multitude of Joshua trees scattered across the desert. This preserve is located near Needles and is where you’ll find the Kelso Dunes.
You could spend an entire day on an expedition at the Mojave National Preserve, exploring the dunes and soaking up the sun. The preserve is near Needles so you can easily make your way to the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge and see the lower Colorado River there. The Providence Mountains are near the Mojave National Preserve so you can also take a hike around that area to enjoy the scenery and natural sites.
