The Deserts of California

The deserts of California can be divided into two regions: the Mojave Desert, also known as the "high desert" and the Colorado Desert, a region of the Sonoran Desert also known as the "low desert". There are two desert national parks in California, Death Valley National Park and Joshua Tree National Park. California's largest state park is Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and the East Majave National Reserve is also located in the California Desert. California's deserts are located in portions of Imperial County, Inyo county, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, and San Diego County.
