The Mojave Desert spans parts of California, Nevada, and Arizona.

The Mojave Desert covers portions of three states: California, Nevada, and Arizona. The largest portion of the desert lies in California, but it also extends into Nevada and Arizona, making it a significant desert in the southwestern United States. These three states contain notable landmarks, such as Joshua Tree National Park in California and the Mojave National Preserve in both California and Nevada, that showcase the desert’s unique ecosystem and landscapes.
