A place made to order for us. Remote, quiet, and plenty of hiking opportunities.
The road is 17 miles through this valley. People drive through here from mid morning to mid afternoon. Some stop for a few minutes and take a photo, and occasionally someone stops for a few minutes to walk out into the desert. But so far, we have seen no one else camping, although we cannot view all of the 17 miles.
We didn't know how long we would stay, but after six nights, I think it is safe to say we will probably spend two weeks here, until we run out of water. The hiking is incredible. We hike toward high cliffs, along the base of those cliffs, out into the desert, and along beautiful washes.
We stayed in our first campsite for four nights, and then moved down the road 2/3 of a mile to another that is a bit more off of the road. We will stay here until the spirit moves us.
