The vegetation there changes depending on the altitude. Rare shrubs such as creosote bush (Larrea tridentata), individual plants of the genus Prosopis (Mimosoideae) and Orache (Atriplex) occur in the valley, Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia), Nevada pines, western pines at higher elevations. Salt herbs (Kali tragus)-shrubs that move freely in the wind - also attract attention.
The key to the survival of these plants is adaptation to the conditions found in the Valley, in one of the driest and hottest places in North America.
