If you drive out Minnietta Rd. and drop down the fault scarp to the bottom, on the right are some excellent sites for camping with groups of people. From there, you can drive to the lower Modoc mining area at the east side of Lookout Mountain and hike or drive to the Minnietta area on the south wher...

Is there plenty to see? There is. I believe if you spend a little time researching old threads, you can answer all the questions you have stated and will state in the near and far future. However, by the time this thread ends, plenty of regulars will add their wisdom. The roads are in constant flux ...

Costa Mesa, myself. We are a fun-loving group of desert-savy, know-it-alls, with an emphasis for PV. Other than that, we agree on at least one thing, Panamint valley is a great place to be. Everything else is up for debate.

Glad to have you. Gear Grinders has a great reputation here. We are a quirky bunch, but we do know about the PV area and think we know about everything else.

You are joining a seasoned group (mostly pepper) of PV and Mojave folks. But everyone sees different things when they are out driving around and it sounds like your rock-hounding is something some of us may want to hear more about.

We have all---ALL--the info on the area at this site...or most of it...or a part of it...a little bit, at least. I think this is a very helpful and yet diverse group and if you have the passion for the desert and especially that unique place called Panamint Valley and the surrounding mountains, jump...

Welcome aboard. Save any glass Sobe bottles and the caps. Oops, maybe I've said too much already. Never mind. The website has a ton of information about the whole area but mostly Panamint Valley-- information that a person can find nowhere else. Panamint Charley is the guy who knows the most about u...

I took my sports car down that route years ago. Drove it out through Split Mountain, too. Grea...

The road through Cerro Gordo is a county road, however, permission needs to be obtained from the caretaker to actually go inside any of the buildings or wander around on the property. Plenty of things can be seen from the road and there is much to photograph. The high country in the Inyo's and Panam...
