There are very few places in the United States where there is almost no vegetation. Death Valley National Park is one of those places. If you look very closely at this photo, you can see some small bushes and other plants along the edge of the wash. Here is the desert Southwest, a "wash" is a watercourse that is dry except when there is sufficient rain. In Death Valley, there is seldom any rain but the extensive erosion shown in this photo is evidence of past rainfalls. Right now, in almost the entire western half of the United States there is a long-term drought.
