Desert Oasis is a collection of images from several parks in the western USA - the Valley of Fire, Zion, Death Valley and Joshua Tree in the Mojave, Great Basin & Sonoran deserts.
The Valley of Fire State Park is in the Mojave desert in southwest Nevada. It is known for its red sandstone formations.
Zion National Park is a rugged canyon that cuts through steep red cliffs. It was our 3rd visit to Zion, but we’re still awed by the landscape.
