In the days before the first European colonists arrived, the Nevada desert was the home of the Ancient Pueblos (also known as the Anasazi). But before the Pueblos colonized the region, it was shaped by natural forces. Water, winds and tectonic movements molded the land, carving gorges and canyons in the earth and pushing mountains up.
Join me on a visit to one of the most beautiful places in North America.
Sunrise
As the sun rises over the desert, temperatures shift from about 50°F (10°C) to a sweltering 110°F (43°C).
Life
But this seemingly-dead land is actually the home of many animals, like this chuckwalla - the second-biggest lizard in the United States.
Colors and Shapes
Occasional water flow and constant winds blast these rocks, carving holes and arches through them, a process that has taken place over millions of years.
Water
Water is the rarest, most prized resource in the desert. It forms a small temporary oasis, which quickly dissipates in the heat of the day.
Petroglyphs
The native inhabitants of the land - the Pueblos, left many petroglyphs along the walls in various parts of the desert.
Evening
At sunset, the desert starts to cool down, and the sky starts to mimic the reds, pinks and yellows of the desert below.
Night
The desert is a natural deterrent for human habitation, leading to very low levels of light pollution. This leads to a spectacularly clear night-sky, where the splendor of the universe is visible again.
