A Quick Two Hours in The North Nopah

Last week I discovered some outbuildings to an old mine on the east side of this particular hill in the North Nopah WA. Today, I was trying to find some clues to the west side claims that make up the old Nopah Group. No luck today, the heat too great to stay out too long.

I always want to climb into canyons, even if they dead end, take hours to explore, or prove nearly impossible to come back down. #mojavedesert #quartz #rockhound #hiking #roadtrip#inyocounty#mining#prospecting #nopahwilderness
