Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2010, Mojave National Preserve / Day 12: Malpais Spring to Nipton by bicycle, plus Ivanpah Valley sunset hike, Mojave National Preserve /
Most of Ivanpah Valley is dominated by creosote bushes, but here I pass through an area of small rounded shrubs
Distances are deceiving out here in the open desert. I'd like to walk down to the bottom of Ivanpah Valley ahead, but I doubt I'll make it that far before sunset.
