The Chihuahuan Desert is the largest one in North America, and can be reached from the southwestern part of these here formerly United States, or northern Mexico. It touches parts of several states of both countries, pretty much dominating Chihuahua. The folks at Midwestern State University got themselves a patch of land in Texas for research.
