Telescope Peak hike (attempt)

The trail to Telescope Peak begins from Mahogany Flat Campground at the end of Upper Wildrose/ Emigrant Canyon Road. With recent snow road was closed and we have to hike extra mile or 2 to trail head. Good trail except the last portion where it goes steep to the summit. Without crampons and ice axes we bailed.

Death Valley National Park

We was planning backpacking trip over 3 days, but my old Honda Accord did not make it to the trail head through deep sand. It was quite a challenge to dig it out and drive backwards. At least there was no drama with camping in the park, you can legally camp anywhere 1 mile from the main freeways.
