Spring Trip to the Desert

[Paul Wagner]

We’re just back from ten days of exploring the desert: Virgin River Gorge, Warner Valley, Whitney Pocket, Red Rock Canyon, and Death Valley. We saw great petroglyphs in four different sites, hiked in a state park, a national monument, a national park, and a natiojnal conservation area. We saw dinosaur tracks and ice age fossils, an abandoned mine and more stunning desert views than you can imagine. We saw wind, rain, sun and snow.

And we actually found a way to enjoy Las Vegas. Go figure.

For the whole story, you can go here for the last blog report: https://www.backpackthesierra.com/post/desert-southwest-part-five

Which also includes a link to the whole photo blog…as well as the previous four parts of the trip.

Thanks for sharing! Brought me back to some springtime trips in Eastern California a decade + ago!

Thanks, as always, for sharing.  When you’re ready to replace “Le Vin Blanc” you may want to look at the Rivian R1S…It too is available in white ;)

Hey Kevin–I originally wanted to buy a newer (and red) van for our adventures, but by the time I had convinced my wife, it was already sold.  Le Vin Blanc was a compromise.  I wanted Le Vin Rouge!

Red or White – I smile how you manage to get at least one photo of it in all of your domestic trips.  Thanks!
