As usual, I had the 66,000 acres of wilderness to myself today. I hiked the Margies Cove Trail from the western trailhead to its highpoint and back, and a short distance down the Brittlebush trail.

I took some fun pictures. See my photoset.

The wide open spaces of the bajadas and valley plain were a little tiring, but the trail does follow a canyon for a ways that was pleasant and cool.

This desert is amazingly clean. I saw almost no litter. But I was annoyed to see a lot of motorbike tracks on the trail from about 4.5 miles in from the trailhead. They seem to have come from the closed eastern trailhead.
