Hidden Valley and Keys View

We walked the short one mile (1.6km) track through Hidden Valley, a former hide-out of cattle rustlers who found that the large rock walls surrounding their stolen herds prevented them from being detected.

Afterwards, we checked out the vista from Keys View. Poster boards explained that usually the smog can be pretty terrible and people often don't see much at all. However, with the strong winds that have been blowing we were incredibly lucky and could see not only Palm Springs and Salton Sea but all the way to the Mexican border.

Another night at Jumbo Rocks campground tonight. Nath and I took turns this afternoon walking to Skull Rock (just a short stroll away). It's a really crazy landscape here!
