Desert is an integral part of the American landscape, though it’s seldom thought about as often as forests, mountains, and coastal places. Yet deserts, even with their stark and arid climate, can provide scenery for some of the most unforgettable hikes. Situated in California, you’ll find proof of this in Red Rock Canyon State Park.

Red Rock Canyon State Park is located in Cantil, California. Though it's smaller than some of the other California State Parks, it's incredible desert scenery makes it well worth the trip.
