This beautiful Mojave Yucca grows on the side of a hill in Lone Pine Canyon near Wrightwood, California USA.
This is part of the high desert region of southern California.

Lone Pine Canyon is THE place to enjoy these majestic desert plants right now.
The floor of the desert is covered with them as well as the sides of the mountains.
You can barely see them growing on the hillside at the left side of the photo.
I wish I had an even bigger lens to capture that distance.

The freight trains travel through the passes (along the sides of the mountains) of another high desert region, not far from the above photos.
This area is also the home of many many Mojave Yuccas.
You can see power lines climbing the sides of the mountains here.
My husband is NOT fond of this photo because the lines are visible!

The freight train has passed, but, another will roll through here very soon...about every 15 minutes.

The hillsides are carpeted with such amazing color right now!
