A wagon that is a relic of the Old West sits in front of the Desert View Tower that opened in 1920s as a roadside attraction and rest stop on a desolate section of cross-country highway near Mexico in Imperial County in Southern California, USA. Strong winds often buffet the observation deck atop the 70-foot (21-meter) hand-built stone structure that is in the In-Ko-Pah Mountains at an elevation of 3,000 feet (914 meters). This remote one-of-a-kind tower is surrounded by boulders bizarrely painted with folk art faces of reptiles, animals and other creatures.
