Immerse Yourself in the Sights and Sounds of the Mojave Desert

Five Airbnb hosts capture the essence of life in this otherworldly, remote pocket of the American West.

Where California, Arizona, and Nevada meet in the desert is a landscape embedded with mysticism that’s been drawing pilgrims since prehistory. Within the desert, the Mojave National Preserve is a dotted line on the map encircling mesas and canyons, mountains and mines; what’s more, the entirety of this wilderness will be protected for generations to come. Local Airbnb hosts share what this surreal and special desert offers to them and to visitors, with unexpected sights — and sounds — at every turn.

I jumped in as coverage for a colleague’s vacation to cover this animation in just 1.5 weeks.
