As you explore during the day there are few signs of animals –the main thing you must watch out for is the occasional rattlesnake that may cross your trail.

Among the animals you’ll see in Mojave are mountain lions,\u00a0 bighorn sheep, bobcats, jack rabbits,\u00a0 skunks, foxes, and Desert tortoises, gila monsters or birds such as roadrunners, golden eagles, bats and owls. Vegetation includes well over 500 plant species within the park boundaries, including flower displays on spring days after it rains.\u00a0 For those who love nature, this is one of California’s lesser tapped places to go–sometimes even the cell phone service is spotty.
