We left Warm Spring and headed out of the park via Henry Wade Road. Just before reaching Highway 127, we decided to stop by Saratoga Spring to look for desert pupfish:


We found some pupfish in this pool:




We reached pavement at Highway 127 and aired up. We gassed up in Baker and I headed to Los Angeles while the rest of the group returned to Arizona. I stopped for dinner in Barstow and got home shortly before midnight.

Wow Russ! That was an awesome trip. You guys saw most of the park! The stunning part is that there are still more trails that you guys didn't go to. That area is amazing.

Thanks for sharing. I'm already planning my next trip and your pics help a lot.
