- California’s deserts have sparked the imaginations of millions of people around the world. From the famously alien landscape of Joshua Tree to the wide expanses of seemingly empty land, the desert has been seen as a place of reinvention, a blank slate to create your dream. This episode explores how those dreams have led to the man-made natural disaster that created the Salton Sea; to the effort to preserve Joshua Tree National Park; and how commercial interests and real estate developers created desert utopias like Palm Springs.

I grew up in Los Angeles and I miss it. KCET is hands down the best public television station. Their programming reminds me of how much I love and miss Southern California. Thank you.
As an artist who creates Desert landscapes, I love this video. KCET Rocks!
i really appreciate these videos. theyre such a wonderful resource and super well made. thank you
I lived in Southern Nevada 17 years and it quickly became my Home. Long story, but I had to leave, and it remains a desire, to be in that Desert.
It's said, "We can't go back", so I envision Nevads as a forward, new, figferent from before, opportunity.
I love the desert it's full of magic .
I used to camp in the desert in winter. You cannot believe how beautiful the night sky is without the light pollution of the city.
cool! I love the attention paid to the architecture of the California dessert and taking advantage of the lack of rain with nearly horizontal roof designs
We came through the desert in our '58 Chevy Bel-air with a funky burlap bag. "Saturate before Using."
The desert is the place of my childhood. I grew up in south Iran of the mid 70ies.
I remember vividly listening to American radio with my dad and driving along the oil pipelines.
Chasing tornados listenning to Joan Baez, Nat King Cole and Stevie Wonder.
Why chasing tornados?
Gotta love California
I really dig the mid century modern architectural style in the stark Palm Springs landscape.
"The Desert is an Ocean with it's life underground and a perfect disguise above"
I been through the desert on a horse with no name...
It felt good to get out of the rain.
Nice said
"The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love" America.
Thanks, KCET. I grew up watching this & the other L.A. UHF channels.
I miss SoCal from SD to San Luis O, Coastal, not Inland.

I always get excited when someone televises Palm Springs. I always think we’re forgotten but guess not 😃
Excellent! Thank you!
Love these videos! Great stuff
I’m pretty sure there are lots of people throughout history including the native people who have always loved and appreciated the desert. And there are still huge numbers of people who think it’s an empty worthless wasteland.
The Mojave Desert in the 60s and 70s to me was so clean and ancient. It was a place of mystery. The desert needed no one and nothing.
.... It is refreshing to go to someplace that doesn't have any billboards, no corporate presence and no soap....
Only someone absurdly wealthy enough would ever be given an audience with the Secretary of the Interior - woman or not
The Salton Sea is super interesting yes but how could they not talk about the aerospace industry in Palmdale and Lancaster. Edwards Air Force Base? Plant 42? Come on. Love the series, I just think the incredible technology that was developed and tested out there was a little more important than some mid century modern homes and an accidental lake.
I wished we hadn't spent so much time in this episode on that subject.
I agree. Birthplace of stealth aircraft and the space shuttle, as well as home of the largest poppy reserve in the USA to name a few facts. Plenty of material for an episode.
Im stupid and even I love SoCa.
A cool way (no pun) to live. How deep to get drinking water?
What about the tri city high dessert. Hesperia, Victorville, applevally
Nobody gives a hoot about those Tweeker towns!
Might be a silly observation but why is artist so pale if she's in love with the desert?
She's also not 300 pounds
Worried about skin cancer. Very common here too.
Melanoma is not a joke Jim!
Deserts are always changing. From barren desolation to barren desolation and back again to barren desolation
They should fix that salt ton sea
So what is a desert? That's like asking someone what is a fork or a spoon?
Excellent story👍🍷 Nice looking blonde 👱🏻♀️
So Shady
8:07 she seems SOOOOOOOO FAKE AFFFFF! Idk....
I cant see the desert as a fragile place. The place is dead gone and dust. Its hard to imagine even where the air comes from. Or life. Where are the trees lakes and river. Coming fromthe east coast its wierd but its what i am used to. From how i see it the desert could if possible could only be improved and never made worse.
Oh please, lets not go crazy here. 2 inches of rain a year, at best, and 118 plus degrees in the summer. It's an arid place of death if you're stupid. LOL. And skin cancer problems? Don't ask.
Photographers have the biggest egos ever and they are completely invalid
Sorry Kim you feel you are so insignificant, I on the other hand was created by a creator and have tremendous significance.
You're a frieken idiot, how's that!
Wealthy liberals waxing-poetic over desolate spaces....
Beauty is the eye of the beholder bud!
Lol. Ever fly over the wasteland backed dirt forever before getting to finally la? Yeah it is wasted nothing. Even la is desert too but atleast there are a few tress i guess.
I grew up watching KCET
This series is awful! Whoever produced/edited this series...
1/2 way through each story I want to kill myself.
Gravitas does not equal morbid. Tell a good story, not just solemn bullshit...
Thanks for producing California's Rust.
Artist = some dude who puts junk together and calls it magnificent. Lol
25:00 It's just a left wing environmentalist ploy to not develop the land. Which would improve the people lives in the area, unless the people want to live in destitute misery and dust.
U R ASSuming it's the people that are most important.
I live here it’s to hot to to make it worth developing you get 5 good months that’s it
