Dead Mountains Wildflowers
22 March 2005

The Dead Mountains are in the eastern Mojave Desert just northwest of Needles, California.   These plants were observed from three locations, two on the east side to and at an old mine site, and from a small narrow canyon on the west side near Sacramento Spring on the southwestern portion of the mountains.
