| no partners | | This was perfect for today. I wanted a hike that was short and steep, with a trail or road to follow. I messed up my shoulder in a minor mishap, so I don't want to do any scrambling or go on any really rough terrain. (Biking and paddling are definitely off the list for now, too.) I'm trying to let the shoulder heal.
I had the whole place to myself. It was sort of chilly but I had brought layers. I forgot the Nikon, so all I have to offer are phone photos. My phone takes lousy photos.
It was fun finding that old register from the Desert Peaks Section.
I thought it odd that the benchmark has a spot for the elevation but they didn't engrave it on there.
Not much in the way of wildlife. I saw bighorn sheep tracks and droppings, and a ground squirrel, that's it. I didn't see a lizard, or even any birds.
The gas line road discussed by Jim_H and others is definitely the way to go in. It is a little over two miles south of the road described in the original write-up. It's a straight shot into the area. It will be very obvious when you are near the actual road that goes up the mountain, because you can see it snaking all the way up. |
