Review:
Located in the Western Mojave Desert, Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake has been in use since 1943. It is the United States Navy’s largest single landholding and houses over 85% of the Navy’s space for research and development, testing and evaluation, acquisition, and weapons. Though installation tours are solely for official visitors and school trips, there are limited access tours to their museum which is filled with equipment, old fighter planes, and other artifacts, and into Little Petroglyph Canyon where you can see over 20,000 petroglyph drawings and paintings.
