CONSERVATION LANDS OF THE CALIFORNIA DESERT Immense, harsh, and isolated, the California desert and its imposing starkness belie the area’s location, just a few hours’ drive from one of the most populous U.S. regions. Colorful canyons, towering dunes, and seemingly barren mountain ranges characterize this arid terrain. But it also features surprising, hidden gems such as palm oases and the saltwater Amargosa River. The BLM manages a portion of these lands for conservation purposes as part of its suite of National Conservation Lands.
