Starry night sky over the Amargosa Wild and Scenic River River, located at the south end of California’s Tecopa Valley. The area has a harsh climate, unobstructed views of desert mountains, and few human settlements.

The narrow Amargosa Canyon is known for its dense greenery and the shallow Amargosa River, complete with “”hanging gardens”“ and a small waterfall. Amargosa Canyon, with its wide open spaces, is a perfect place to seek tranquility.
