Sheephole Valley Wilderness

This is the southern mouth of the 195,000-acre Sheephole Valley Wilderness in San Bernardino County, California, with the Calumet Mtns in the background. From here it's fifty+ miles of Mojave Desert to the next road. I got lost out there one moonless night about fifteen years ago. Good times!

1. This is what true high desert looks like, and thank you for showing us, my dear mike_c!

Getting lost out there on a moonless night must have been not a lot of fun!

Glad you got out!

3. I never heard of the Sheephole Valley Wilderness.

I'll have to go check it out.

It's always scary getting lost out in the desert. I try to avoid it. LOL!

A friend of mine took a wrong turn in Joshua Tree just as night was falling. He had us worried until he finally straggled back to the parking lot.
