comments,
- An arid valley lodged between mountain ranges...""Makes for some classic Western landscapes
- This region was ground zero for an ambitious engineering project...""And the start of the California Water Wars
- A salt lake sits in an unusual basalt basin near here.""The combination has created a landscape that looks like something out of science fiction
- Some prefer the summery, seaside charm of Southern California.""But we think the rugged wilderness in this spot has its own allure
