One of the lesser visited areas of Death Valley National Park is the Hunter Mountain Road north of the Panamint Valley. This area has interesting rock formations and Pinyon Pine forest.
The southern end of the Hunter Mountain Road starts at the South Pass on the road into the Saline Valley. Along the way to this point, the road passes through some nice Joshua Tree forest.
The approach to South Pass provides a nice view of the Panamint Dunes below.
After turning onto Hunter Mountain Road, we watched as this Miller's Towing truck dragging two large tires started down Grapevine Canyon towards the Saline Valley. They apparently do this when responding to a recovery call in order to reduce the washboard that the tow truck loaded with another vehicle has to return over.
Our goal for this drive was to revisit Hunter Cabin.
Barbara is considering if this is another possible post-RV residence.

Later that evening we watched the full moon rise over the mountains.
