Well there is not a book of the bible where it specifically says "John the Baptist is a voice crying out in the desert.

John the Baptist is noted for living off the land in the desert and wearing coarse clothing. His mission was to prepare the way for the coming public ministry of Our Lord and preach a baptism of repentance.
None of the four gospels say anything about John's mother, Elizabeth bringing him to the desert. John was fulfilling prophesy and followed Gods directions. I would assume that John was led to the desert region by God.
