This is my backyard hike so to speak.This is the only official trail but this little wilderness area is riddled with old trails from Indians,Mexicans,prospectors,ranchers and so on.I spent a lot of time here last winter and rarely saw anyone.I have packed in overnight a few times but you can't go too far in any one direction because on the north of Klothos Temple is Gov.(I think you can get a permit) and to the east past Morgan wash are just low barren rolling hills. Still it has a lot to offer for this area. I've seen small bands of desert big horns three times, I jumped a fox out early one morning and got some fuzzy pics of him and you've always got to watch for snakes. Once I came upon the lower fore leg of a deer that wasn't that old (cougars are known to visit too). That picked up my heart rate a little. There's a water catchment way back up in a high place for the sheep someone built but basically there's no water. I took a half gallon for this little loop in decent temps but I often take gallon or more. it was like visiting a friend,a great day.
