| no partners | | Quick stop in the DV front country on my way out to the Panamint Valley. Mostly cloudy, hiked in my street clothes sans water so I could fit in with the rest of the tourists. Started up Gower Gulch, the lower section is narrower, then the upper part is the badlands below Zabrisky Point. Upon cresting the first ridge, the views really open up. The ridge separating Gower Gulch from Golden Canyon offers the best views, and the colors were phenomenal with muted sunlight. There were actually surprisingly few tourists up there; I suspect most of them just go a mile up Golden Canyon and turn around.
This is definitely near the top of the list when it comes to DV front country hikes (although there are a couple I haven't done yet), tons of little side trails you can check out if you were to allocate a few hours. |
