Deep Creek Mountains

Deep Creek Mountains
In extreme western Utah; in fact, this is a telephoto view looking east from Nevada. The state line is out there somewhere beyond the low ridge in the middle distance. The peak on the right is Ibapah Peak (12087 ft/3684 m); the double peak on the left is (L) Ibapah Azimuth (11987 ft/3654 m) and (R) Haystack Peak (12020 ft/3664 m). The lower summits between Haystack and Ibapah Peaks are unnamed, at least on the USGS 7.5' topo. The inset is a telephoto close-up of Ibapah Peak.
The Goshute Reservation lies between here and the Deep Creeks, but online sources indicate the tribe will allow access if you ask them for permission first.

Wonderful shot. I was through that area back in 2003. I don't have a photo from where you were, but I was relatively close. I was searching for the graded road from Ibapah back to Ely, but the signs were almost nonexistent and that was before GPS, so I gave up and headed up to towards I-80. Below is a poor shot from a little north of there:

Thanks!

I actually don't use GPS very much; it's in my phone, but it's not installed in my Wrangler. I use (gasp) maps--a dying art ;) I've found the Benchmark state altases to be most useful--a better correspondence to ground truth than the DeLormes--and I also often have the USGS topos of a particular area of interest on my Kindle. As I'd posted a while back, USGS has put all their map series online for free, as PDFs.

I similarly rely on actual maps for most things and I find relying on the GPS system for directions to be annoying/distracting. But I am finding the GPS maps in my car to be helpful at least in providing suggestions when a map is out-of-date or theirs unexpected construction I need to get around. I was in the Sacramento Delta recently and one of the ferries was out of service, having the GPS helped me figure out alternatives.

Oh, I agree, it can be a useful supplement. What gets me is the reliance on the GPS alone, so often untempered by common sense, or indeed any feel for topography! We've had this discussion before:

Totally awesome! What a VIEW!

We are certainly enjoying more sights these days. I wonder if you travel in a trailer too? I'll have to peek around in your pictures to see if I can't find out on my own! :)

And on the info about the ground squirrels...heh...I guess you're just like me...you can't just TAKE a picture...you must know all about the subject! After all...what's the point otherwise?! :)

Thanks for stopping by, it's always fun to get a visit from you!

Looks like you live in Nevada and take lots of little trips all over the place...fun stuff! We're having a wonderful time with our beginning explorations now that we have a way to do it properly! :) Do you travel around in a camper van? RV of a larger size? It's sure been liberating to travel around and hang out at state parks...not too much money and one can relax and soak it all up! :D

Yeah, we take lots of trips in Nevada and environs. One of my pet peeves is the way people dis Nevada--OTOH, it keeps the crowds down! As I tell my California friends, you can just walk into the wilderness areas--we don't need no stinkin' permit!

We replaced our old pop-up trailer a few years ago with a new one that has _much_ better clearance. Works _much_ better off-pavement! I'll post a pic at some point.

Thanks, everyone! As I've said, the deserts of the Great Basin get no respect, but they have their charms!
