"With a thousand miles of desert roads and hundreds of natural attractions beckoning, you might not know where to begin your exploration, and that's how Mojave National Preserve: A Visitor's Guide will help you out," declares Preserve Superintendent Mary G. Martin in her foreword to the book. "Authors Cheri Rae and John McKinney have been writing about this desert, and championing its preservation, for more than a decade. Preserve staff was pleased to lend its expertise in support of this book, an excellent introduction to a wondrous land."

The new 2004 edition of Mojave National Preserve, A Visitor's Guide delivers lively tours, clear maps and directions, nature and history notes and more-all sure to enrich appreciation of one of the nation's most spectacular national parklands.

"Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the preserve's creation with a visit to this unique desert," suggests co-author John McKinney. "In the ten years since the park was formed, Mojave National Preserve has gone from a blank spot on the map to a destination attracting visitors from across the country and around the world."
