My first trip to the Sierra Mountains and Mt. Whitney http://hikearizona.com/photoset.php?ID=8725 afforded an opportunity for my first visit into Death Valley.
Northern Panamint Valley is a recent addition to Death Valley National Park having been incorporated in 1994. This explains why it doesn't appear as part of the park on many maps. The southern sections of Panamint Valley seem to be a mix of BLM and private lands. Plenty of opportunities for backcountry adventure - many trails and mining ghost towns.
I've always been an admirer of Letty's stunning images (see http://hikearizona.com/photoset.php?ID=4987 and http://hikearizona.com/photoset.php?ID=4158 ) from this part of the world and this "day trip" has only whet my appetite for more. Also recall Norber15's inspiring images http://hikearizona.com/photoset.php?ID=8989
The planning has begun... |
