| Southwest Road Trip /View of Hidden Valley from Hunter Mtn - Long before it became part of Death Valley, Hunter Mountain was an important destination for humans because of its pinyon woodlands, freshwater springs, large game, and moderate summer temperatures. At 7454 foot summit, the mountain's flora is dominated by Joshua trees, pinyon, rabbitbrush, and wild rose. Pinyons of Hunter Mountain traditionally provided important source of food for Native Americans, Western Shoshone familes. The mountain is named after William L. Hunter, who settled here in the early 1870s. His hand-hewn log cabin and some old corrals from the livestock operation can still be seen. |
