Howdy, everyone. I've got my annual trip planned for the 3rd week of November and am looking for some hike ideas.
I know they're only expecting 190 to be open from the west to Furnace Creek and Badwater Rd to mile marker 18 so that definitely limits areas available for hiking.
I've already hiked a bit in this corridor, some of these multiple times actually: Funeral Slot, Double Bridge / Squeeze Slot, Mosaic, Grotto, Artist Dips, Desolation.
Researched Little Bridge, Brimstone, The Crack, Stretched Pebble but if you have any other recommendations or can help me choose out of these I'd appreciate it. I plan on a couple family days with shorter hikes and two days of more serious long distance otherwise challenging hikes. But don't want to carry a rope this time if possible.
If a certain dirt road is open I might shoot for an overnighter to Lower Hidden Bridge and Big Fall. I've had these on my radar for years but just haven't been able to get out there yet.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
