"Over there
lies the UC Desert Research Center which

The Granite
Mountains stand 50 miles south of Baker, California,
above Kelso Dunes along
Kelbaker Road. Elevations range from 3700'-6796' making
Summer hiking and Winter weather events very rewarding.
Exploring the surreal jumble of granite boulders will
reveal robust plants
and animals rarely seen in the Mojave Desert is such
abundance.
