Trio Mine Road, on the way back to Ivanpah Road, 1/4 mile or so away

Despite the cold, I really like this landscape. There are even a few juniper trees growing here, which makes it feel very different from the lower desert areas.

I could easily spend more time here exploring. There should be some old mine ruins just up the road. However, I don't have all that much water left, so I need to pack up and get to Mid Hills Campground by the end of the day before I run out.
