Did you know we're standing in the Chihuahuan Desert!

That's right, the largest desert in North America.

It covers more than 200,000 square miles, stretching from Coahuila, Mexico, through west Texas and into New Mexico and Arizona. As you might imagine, there are lots of different kinds of plants and animals living in this land of mountains and deserts.

Well, now that we know where we are, let's head on to Hueco Tanks for some more big surprises! Yeeeha!
