The Mojave is beautiful and you can see many things from the paved roads. There is much more to see though on the numerous non-paved roads. Just be sure you have a car that can handle it; you are truly offroading but it's worth it!
We visited the Mojave Dessert after our visit of the Joshua Tree Park. It’s for free and really worth a visit.
The Mojave desert is so different from others. The plant life depends on elevation. Some areas have Joshua Trees and some don't. Driving the stretch from Palm Springs to I-40 will give you an idea of what it is like. Stop at the Kelso Depot for more information. Remember it can get very hot. It is lonely out there but there is cell service most of the way and take water.
We enjoyed our drive through the hot desert lands. Very scenic and unaltered desert flora from thousands of years ago.
Vastity - scenario and atmosphere still enchanting - if you want to feel the atmosphere get of the freeways!
Mojave national preserve is a beautiful desert landscape park. There are a lot of Joshua trees in the park, a lot more than Joshua Tree national park. The lava tube is cool but make sure you pick the right route there
