Within the boundaries of the Preserve you will find many different environments including parts of the Mojave Desert as well as transitional elements of the Great Basin and Sonoran deserts.

If you are planning a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada taking a side trip through the Mojave National Preserve is a great way to break up the trip. Although there are no hotels available within the Preserve, there are hotels a short distance from its perimeter such as Primm, Nevada, as well as Barstow, California.
