Fourwheelin' in the Inyo Mountains

On May 25 - May 28, a group of us took our four wheel drive vehicles up to the Owens Valley and the Inyo Mountains. We visited the famouse salt tram that carried salt from Saline Valley to the Owens Valley. We were up to about 8,000 feet and this area can only be accesed by four wheel drive. We also visited the old mining town of Cerro Gordo. After this, went to Indian Wells Canyon and hiked up to some pictographs.

Because of the drought, there were not many flowers. Here are a few that we saw.
