| Southwest Road Trip /I took the following pictures on the road to Steel Pass - Saline Valley to Eureka Valley (25 Miles). This rough 4x4 road begins at Saline Valley Hot Springs and slowly climbs northeast to the top of Steel Pass. The road continues across a high plateau, then descends Dedeckera Canyon to the magnificent Eureka Sand Dunes. This is a very remote and rugged region of Park that is best traveled with more than one vehicle and/or with an experienced off-road driver. Longer-wheelbase vehicles may find the canyon challenging. The pay-off, a rare scene of the Eureka Sand Dunes giant in size, quietly nestled against the picturesque Last Chance Range. The top speed we drove was about 10mph. Most of the road was washed out and riddled with boulders the size of bathtubs. It's amazing how well the FJ Cruiser handled the road. We saw a single tire mark on the road, which helped lead the way in some areas. We ran into another car coming from the opposite direction once, what else? another FJ Cruiser. |
