Point - Borrego Badlands
Centered in the arid Borrego Badlands due east of the Visitors Center
between County Road S-22 and Route 78, four million years of geologic and paleontologic
history are exhibited across a stark desert landscape. Join the crew of DesertUSA
and take a road trip to Fonts Point, maybe the best place in North America to
view sediments of the Pliocene and Pleistocene Epochs.
Death Valley - Titus Canyon
As Titus Canyon Road in Death Valley reaches the foothills, it starts to climb
and meander among the sagebrush and red rock outcroppings. The road becomes steeper
and narrower as it approaches Red Pass, amply named for its red rocks and dirt.
Enjoy the ride!

Bats
& Carlsbad Caverns
The park's most famous cave, Carlsbad Cavern, is over 1,000 feet deep, contains
30 miles of mapped passages and the largest underground chamber in the U.S. View
formations of stalagmites, stalactites, and columns as well as the evening flight
of Mexican free-tailed bats from the entrance of the Cavern.
The
Coyote
The ubiquitous coyote originally ranged primarily in the southwest corner of
the US, but it has adapted readily to the changes caused by human occupation
and, in the past 200 years, has been steadily extending its range.
The
Honeybee
The honeybee begins its life as a pinhead-sized egg, one of 1500 to 2000 laid
by the queen of the hive during the course of a typical late-winter or early-spring
day. It and its siblings each occupy private, adjoining, six-sided cells that,
collectively, serve as the nursery and the honeycomb of the hive.
