Thank you so much for all the feedback. I am glad I joined the forum to ask. Not only you all have a lot knowledge
but also you are very welcoming, I appreciate that very much.
Any tips on how to deal with parking on the side of the road if the berm is high?
I've seen that in some pictures and I am curious to know how people deal with that
MojaveGeek: Is the Amargosa river bed fairly flat and shallow? I was assuming a pretty rocky crossing, with deep tracks left by other 4WD
vehicles.
I suppose if the river is dry almost always then, the wind will push sand into the river bed and there would not be as much mud for the 4WD
vehicles to create ruts behind.
I also looked at a possible loop going up Sand Canyon and returning via South Quartz Canyon. The return looks doable, and the pack would be lighter without the water/food consumed. The only thing to contend with is the dry falls in South Quartz Canyon. Also, doing a yo-yo on Sand Canyon does not sound that bad either, looks like a great place anyway.
