Oak Grove trail into Pine Valley Mtns

[MojaveGeek]

Any comments on Oak Grove as a route up to Further Water and the crest in general? I've gone up from the other side as both day hike and camp, but I really like the views to the east so thought this might be a fun trail to try. Planning for next month - yes I know it will be hot and no water, but some trees for shade I hope?

thanks!
