    The list is long but distinguished
    Having never been out to the Black Rock Desert (Burning Man isn't my scene) I decided to do a quick trip out. What a stunning landscape! Can wait to go back.

    Full res pics can be found here.


    County rd 34 on our way to Solider Meadows Rd.

    The playa was quite wet and looked treacherous. Heard someone got stuck out there over the last couple days.

    Camped near Mormon Dan Peak. It was cold during the day and ever colder at night. I think 34 was the high and it got down around 19 over night.

    Not a soul in sight.

    Nice! I love exploring that area. There are a few really nice hot springs to enjoy out there.

    Just the basics
    If it weren't so far it would be on the short list. Looks like a cold winter desert. Solitude for sure.
