Pictures from NoCA to Craters of Moon

As promised some pictures from my last week of travels; from Northern California to Craters of the Moon. This is Trinidad Beach, CA:

This is the longest road I have ever been on without seeing a single sign of people, 100 miles of nothingness between McDermitt, NV and Jordan Valley, WY. Soutwestern Wyoming is devoid of the living!

A view of the top of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) at the top of Horton Peak:

And the old ranger satation on top of Horton Peak:

A nice view of the Sawtooth Mountains coming down from Horton Peak:

Here's a picture of Lake Alturas Lake

<- This is a picture of Redish lake in the SNRA.

At the end of my 1700 foot climb up a dirt logging road I was greeted by single track into a burned out wilderness. The signs said enter at your own risk; trees may fall at any moment and risks of flash flooding.

Some of the hills were so scorched that two years later nothing was still growing.

And two thousand years later not much has grown at the Craters of the Moon National Monument......
