DAD (a.k.a., 'Nate')
Looks like a great place to visit as long as you’re in shape for it. One of the reasons I love the desert (e.g., Death Valley NP): The terrian and environment changes and amazes, sometimes in less than a quarter-mile. There’s a “Hunter’s Cabin” and Hunter’s Mountain in DVNP (those guys sure got around) and a one-room “Geologist’s Cabin” adjacent to the Anvil Spring in Butte Valley (DVNP) that two geologists built from the local materials; each stone in the cabin is unique. Your trip shows there is much to see, do, and admire in the desert if one is willing to take the time and explore and enjoy.
Very true Dad! One can become anesthetized by the perceived monotony of a desert environment. Yet if you pay attention, the subtle nuances present themselves, especially where water is introduced, whether known or unknown to the visitor. This desert is huge, so more to come. Love you!!
