| In general, visitors to Mojave should expect bright, clear skies, seasonally strong winds, and wide fluctuations in day-night temperatures. |

Mojave National Preserve is always open. Information centers maintain regular hours of operation.
Mojave Desert experiences change with the seasons. - Infrequent winter snows sparkle on the mountains.
- With enough moisture, spring wildflowers carpet the desert with vivid colors.
- Summers are hot, so adventurers head for the higher elevations such as Mid-Hills and the New York Mountains.
- The cooler temperatures of fall mark hunting season.

Did You Know?
The railroad town of Kelso in Mojave National Preserve was named in 1905 by railroad construction workers. Two men placed their names in a hat, along with that of a third who had just moved away. The name drawn from the hat was that of John H. Kelso, the man absent from the drawing.
