In the 19th century, Americans from the eastern states moved to west to settle in the rich new lands along tile Pacific Coast. The most difficult part of their trip was crossing the “Great American Desert”in the western part of the United States by horse and wagon. The western desert can be very dangerous. There is little water and there are few trees. But tile desert also has scenery of great beauty. Tall towers of red and yellow stone rise sharply from the flat, sandy valley floor. The scene has been photographed many times and appears on movies and on TV.
In Arizona, man-made dams across the Colorado River have made two large lakes in the middle of the dry desert country. At Lake Powell, the red stone arch of rainbow bridge rises high above the blue lake. There are few roads. Many areas of Lake Powell's shore can only be reached by boat or on foot. But hikers in this empty desert land sometimes find very old native American pictures, painted on the rocks.
In Death Valley. California, the summer temperature rises to 130-165 F. There is less than two inches of rain each year. Death Valley is the lowest place in America--925 meters below sea level. In the 1800s, many travelers died when they tried to cross this waterless valley in the terrible heat.
Although the desert is dry and seems empty, there is plenty of life if you look closely. Snakes, rats have learned how to live in the desert heat. They live underground and come out at night, when it is cool. Plants such as cacti need very little water. When it does rain in the desert, plants grow quickly, and flowers open in a single day. For a short time, the desert is covered with brilliant colors.
