Enjoyed the pictures, Nancy. Back in the late 70's and early 80's I was lucky enough to camp in and explore the Amargosa River area from the Dumont Dunes up to to the Tecopa region. At the time it was permitted to use a trail bike here and I was able to see much of the valley, river and canyons and the old Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad. Of course the area was long ago banned to off road vehicle use, and for good reasons. I've been back to Dumont a few times since and have hiked the canyons but the experience has not equaled those first days spent in that hidden part of the desert. Thanks for the reminder, it is truly a treat to see this gallery!
