Still getting caught up from when I was at Kelso dunes in Mojave National Preserve.
Went for a hike through the sand dunes one day, and was amazed by the quantity and variety of tracks and trails left in the sand from the mostly night time residents.
You should be able to get a better view by clicking on each photo for a full size view.
Heading up towards the sand mountain peak.
Looking back towards the camp spot.
Small forests of vegetation act as snow fences.
Lower part of the ‘summit ridge’.
Some little critters had walked all the way up the dune to cross over to the other side.
My tracks up the summit ridge.
I could see for miles from the top. I could see traffic on the Interstate about 50-60km to the north.
One of the track makers, now deceased of unknown causes. I think it is a kangaroo rat.
And another fringe toed lizard finding some shade.
Next – heading for Lake Havasu.
I enjoyed the pictures, especially the tracks.
