EMERALD DESERT RALLY

Page 2

One of the side trips was a visit to......

The Living Desert -  Like A Zoo, Only Better!

When they named this 1,200-acre interpretive center the Living Desert they weren't kidding. Mountain lions, wolves, javelina, bobcats, golden eagles, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, leopards and much more abound here in a natural setting nestled at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains reminding one that the early Indians and pioneers were never alone.

The Living Desert, located in the town of Palm Desert, California, provides a one-stop opportunity to explore all the great American deserts and learn about their plants and animals, in a setting that is fun and educational for the whole family

Here are some pictures..........
