I recently did a hike in Rainbow Valley, with the backdrop of the Sierra Estrellas. After viewing the Estrellas during that entire hike, I decided to hike up Quartz Peak again.

My last hike up Quartz included off trail searches for some benchmarks. On that hike I found nothing.

On this hike I also went off trail, even further a few times, for the same reason.
All I had to go on were TOPO maps displaying symbols of some benchmarks, and also a bit of research I had done about a couple other locations. My searching was futile.
I again found nothing - No disks, or etchings in boulders.

Anyway, the hike was still great, and a good workout.

I'm giving a shout-out to @rwstorm, for his published drive route into Rainbow Valley from the south. I have used it many times now, and it's the best way in, from the south - Thanks.
