Why the explored?
For any reason that entices you...exploration can reveal geological formations that are difficult to see anywhere else on earth, as in most places vegitation obscures the rock and dirt formations that are readily visible in deserts such as the Mojave Desert and Death Valley. For example, in Titus Canyon between NV and Death Valley, it is easy to see where layers of sedimentary rock has been twisted and turned on their edges thru earth movement, and where one type rock abuts completely different rocks. Exploration can also be of unique plants and animals, adapted to living with little moisture in extreme temperature swings. I didn't use to enjoy deserts, but the more time I spent in them the more I understood and came to admire their terrain...I am now firmly a desert rat at heart, primarily due to months' worth of backcountry exploring in Death Valley and the Mojave Desert.
