I had tried to stop by White River Narrows on my first pass, but things didn't go well. I tried again. It's kind of overwhelming when you do get to the right places. Perhaps I should have retreated to Narrows I at the end to help quiet the mind?

Crystal Wash isn't exactly "full" of petroglyphs, but two clusters are on a rough interpretive trail and if you have the brochure, you might be able to find them. I did, and I did.

Let me introduce you to the simply named Big Rocks Wilderness, where there are some big rocks! I went along a few ravines/washes with the ostensible goal of reaching the high point. I only got so far, then stopped by the spring on the way back.

Just a little flowing water in the desert and other minor walks in the big (pop nearly 1k!) city of Caliente, Nevada.

Back to peak bagging with a stroll along the Silver State Trail (first nationally recognized… er… OHV trail) to the top of Grey Dome and back.

Just a quick stop for a little paleontology at the Oak Springs Trilobite Site. They are there!

I also stopped for a bit to watch the birds near the spring associated with the corral near Shingle Pass.

I stopped by an old corral to make a trailless hike to the highest point of the Fat South Egans Wilderness. It is a rugged place, but folks have discovered a route that is very straightforward right to the top.

My second day backpacking the South Egan Range Wilderness, I climbed up the high point in the morning. That's Adams benchmark. Then I got back to Ninemile Canyon for water, then traveled down to Sheep Pass Canyon and found camp on a small branch.
