Met up with a group of friends at the Kelso Dunes in the Mojave National Preserve for a hikes to Granite Mountain and the Kelso Dunes.
Our campsite at the Kelso Dunes Saturday morning.
The group that arrived at camp Friday night. Scott with son Lucas, Sooz, John, Joe (me) and Frank.
A view of the Kelso Sand Dunes from camp. Time to drive to the trailhaed for Granite Mountain.
Frank, John, Sooz and me, Joe at the trailhead for the hike to Granite Mountain. Kathy started off about half hour before us.
Near the start of the hike. Granite Mountain is the peak just left of center, on the right is Silver Peak.
Looking east towards the Providence Mountains in the distance.
An old corral in the wash.
Nice flow patterns in the sand from the recent rains.
Nice colors. The first section of the hike followed a wash and the remaining sections of the old mining road that climbs Silver Peak.
This is where we first came upon the water in the wash. A hundred feet up stream it was flowing.
