Watch the sun as it approaches the horizon and casts long shadows over gloriously shaped dunes of sand. Explore the historic byways of Route 66 as it veers away from the beaten path, leading a crooked and desolate path through the midst of the Mojave Desert. Enter the bizarre world of the Salton Sea, a once-prestigious playland of the rich and famous until a strange turn of events transformed the waters into a bitter and sour province of death.

Welcome to the Mojave Desert of Southern California, a desolate and secluded area that has been rejected and spurned. It's not hard to see why: extreme temperatures that regularly approach 120 degrees in the summer, sparse flora, and deadly creatures that slither and crawl across forsaken wasteland.

But look closer and you will see what so many others miss. A land alive with color, beauty and life. The desert possesses a magic that can't be found anywhere else. From the depths of the Salton Sea to the heights of Death Valley, Dilapidation, Desolation, and Death Valley explores the beauty that lies within this magnificent corner of America.
