March 2018 Exploration of the Panamint and Saline Valleys
"The trail threads its way through a tangled riparian woodland before reaching the cascade. Goodings willows spread their gracefully arching branches, shading the canyon from wall to wall. The sound of falling water grows louder and you suddenly emerge from thick undergrowth arriving at the base of Darwin Falls. The creek cascades over massive, polished boulders, forming two slender falls that plunge into a pool. Mosses and maidenhair ferns grown in spray-drenched pockets alongside the falls. This inviting setting beckons you to stay a while to breathe the cool, moist air and listen to the varied voices of water and songbirds in the trees. Near twilight the red-spotted toad may add its high-pitched trill to the chorus."

I thought I better get back to the blog before some machine decides it should disappear.
I recently had the chance to spend the weekend camping at the Page Springs campground, on the Blitzen River, with my friend Stuart. We've managed to explore much of the area around the Steens Mountains, and the whole area is just fascinating. If you are a lover of geology, volcanoes, glaciers, plate tectonics, birds, wild horses, wild game, hot springs, western history, big views, or quiet and secluded places, this area should be on your bucket list.
