Thanks for this post, I was just looking at some Beta for the Mormon Mtns. We were in Arrow Canyon last weekend and will probably visit these at some point.

Nice, man. :nod: I was about 20 miles from there on Saturday, out visiting the tri-state corner. It was my first taste of that kind of desert--never hiked among the joshua trees before. Neat area.

supposed to be quite a bit of cultural sites throughout. i want to go back and visit yellow man cave sometime. i think i walked past it on the way out, it had jsut been a long day w/ lots of elevtion change already and i didn't have the energy to check out all the final caves i came across.

i hiked out in the west desert areas of utah when i lived there, and there is a subtle, yet palpable difference between that and the mojave.
