Today I'm hiking over to "Black Palisades" (it has no official name): that dark rocky mound in the distance

It's already 90 degrees, so an easy hike is a perfect way to take a "day off," while still exploring the area a little. I noticed Black Palisades while riding down the nearby powerline road during last year's Mojave National Preserve trip and thought it would be a good destination for an easy hike some day.
