Back in August Yo and I took a ride out to Panaca NV on a whim and visited Cathedral Gorge SP. It was around 95 and we decided to come back in cooler weather to do a little exploring. There is a 4 mile loop and a 1 mile out and back.
We did the 1 mile into a wash and then went 15 miles South to Kershaw-Ryan S.P.

CGSP has a moon like landscape. The erosion is just incredible with caves and small canyons everywhere.

KRSP is outside Caliente and is pretty small. There is a nice hike to an overlook that's 2-3 miles RT. We were the only people in the park!
