Among California’s settlements, Indian Wells stands out for its high-desert position in Indian Wells Valley, close to the southern Sierra Nevada. This small Kern County community lies north of Inyokern on a rail route historically associated with the Southern Pacific Railroad. Its Mojave Desert surroundings are marked by wide, open basins and dry mountain horizons, far removed from the palm-lined resort city of the same name in the Coachella Valley. Indian Wells provides a sense of California’s sparsely settled inland desert. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across California.
