Mac OS X Mountain Lion has 43 secret desktop wallpapers hidden in one of its folders. They are all beautiful, high quality and this is how you find them.

1.
 

Star the Finder.

 
 
2.
 

In the Finder menu click Go and choose Go To Folder...

 
 
3.
 

Now copy the following folder path 

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.Framework/Versions/A/Resources/Default Collections/

and paste it into the Go to the folder field.

Select the folder path and press CMD + C to copy it and then press CMD + V to paste it. You can also right click the selection and click Copy and the right click the field and choose Paste.

Click Go.

And here are the secret Mountain Lion folders with high resolution desktops. If you like nature check out National Geographic or Nature Patterns, if you like space check out the Cosmos or Aerial for the aerial photos. They are all top notch.

 
 
5.
 

I suggest you to create an shortcut or a so called Alias to the Default Collection folder.

Default Collections is the folder with the hidden wallpapers folders.

6.
 

Then grab and move the alias ...

 
 
7.
 

... to your desktop.

 
 
8.
 

And rename the alias to something like Wallpapers so you will have the quick access to your newly discovered secretive Mac OS X Mountain Lion wallpapers right away.
