| partners | | we had coffee and breakfast at 0600 again, then packed up and headed for artists drive
hiked to one high point at an overlook, then did some hiking around artists palette
colorful badland type buttes with darker mountains in the background and at a distance
a scenic area that was fun to explore
not many people there yet
drove through furnace creek and on to ubehebe crater
hiked around both ubehebe and little hebe craters
wonderful views into the crater and of the surrounding mountains
made the steep sandy drop of about 600 feet into the main crater
we checked out a couple of side canyons
enjoyed the different perspective of looking up from the bottom
tried to keep momentum on the hike out, sliding back down a bit with each step
not many people here either, or at least not hiking
this was one of my favorite hikes of the trip
stopped to have lunch at the grapevine ranger station
we took the time to snag a campsite at stovepipe wells before wandering through the devil's cornfield
then on to mesquite flat sand dunes, hitting the highest dune late afternoon
the campground filled up on this holiday weekend
nice sunset |
