A superlative desert of streaming sand dunes, snow-capped mountains, multicolored rock layers, water-fluted canyons and three million acres of stone wilderness. Home to the Timbisha Shoshone and to plants and animals unique to the harshest of deserts. A place of legend and a place of trial.

The Devil's Hole pupfish (Cyprinodon diabolis) was listed as endangered in 1967 and is now in danger of extinction. Extraordinary efforts are being made to preserve and recover this species.
