Description

We’ll do a late breakfast at Kramer Junction then head to Red Mountain to make camp (dry camping).  We’ll visit the X-15 crash site and poke around the area Friday afternoon. Saturday we’ll make our way across the desert to the Trona Pinnacles for lunch and make a stop in the town of Trona for gas.  Sunday we’ll go through the Grass Valley wilderness and stop at the Husqvarna memorial, then head for home.

Bring firewood.
