Here’s a gorgeous pic from #MojaveTrails National Monument -- one of three new #nationalmonuments that President Obama designated today. To celebrate, we're taking over @whitehouse today and showcasing amazing views of some of the national monuments President Obama has protected. Mojave Trails is a stunning mosaic of rugged mountain ranges, ancient lava flows and spectacular sand dunes. The other new national monuments are Sand to Snow, which includes lush desert oases, significant archeological sites and 30 miles of the world-famous #PacificCrestTrail, and Castle Mountains, home to some of the finest Joshua tree forest and native desert grassland in the #MojaveDesert. These new monuments protect 1.8 million acres of spectacular landscapes, fragile wildlife habitat, unique historic resources and important cultural sites -- ensuring that all Americans can enjoy the unique beauty of the #California desert for generations to come.
