"We traveled to Death Valley for the super bloom and discovered the only open camping was backcountry. The park ranger recommended the foothills of the Panamint Mountain range, where several dirt roads led up into its canyons.
From Badwater Road, we turned on West Side Road, a gravel drive bisecting the vast salt flats. After a few miles, we turned right up Trail Canyon, a 4WD only dirt road that we only felt confident driving in a Jeep.
All this effort was worth it for the solitude of camping alone in a wide-open canyon and the endless views of the valley below when we packed up camp."

Night in Joshua Tree
We’re not always fond of the rusty-metal fire rings found at established camp spots, but this long-expsoure photo captures the campfire in a dreamlike state.
Lakeside Pines
Bernice’s tent blends perfectly into the towering pine trees of Jennie Lakes Wilderness.
Trail Canyon
Having the confidence in your 4WD travel-rig goes a long way in finding the most remote backcountry campspots in Death Valley.
