Death Valley 2022/23

[GowerGulch42]

One of my favorite vistas anywhere! I tried to camp there once, but the wind was so high whistling through the col there that we spent about two minutes contemplating how to set up and after the wind closed all the doors on my Jeep we decided another course of action was preferred. That was the only night I ever spent in a backcountry cabin (The Lee Hilton), and it was a fine respite from the severe wind. Wouldn't choose to sleep inside during fair weather, though… the mice were aggressive!
