Shameful... and it's not isolated here either. It seems to me that littering has increased overall as I've observed in my advanced age and it seems to be seeing a significant increase over the last several years. I don't get what is wrong with people...Dispersed camping closures in Sequoia National Forest...

Pack it in, pack it out people or we are going to lose even more.

Red Rock Canyon is convenient and cheap. It's right off the 14 between Mojave and Ridgecrest.
Interesting cliff formations that look especially nice at night with a fire going.
Nearby is the Burro Schmidt tunnel and Bickel Camp. Both of these are well worth the trip IMO.
Who wants to share a place or area in the SoCal Desert? Please not the usual suspects. Mojave Road etc.
Anyone want to share your favorite late-fall SoCal destinations? We may be able to have the whole family take Thanksgiving week (or a significant part of it) for a trip, and thinking it might be nice to use that time to get farther from home than Anza Borrego.
Other desert destinations seem right, based on anticipated temperatures (no heater in our rig, yet, so sub-freezing nights can be loooong), but I may be able to talk the ladies into something adventurous!
I have tent camped here with snow on the ground. Very cold dawn at that elevation but beautiful in winter. The best deal is to grab a hot breakfast at the restaurant by the visitors center. Not roughing it but definitely good hospitality.Did you know there is a campground open all winter in the Grant Grove area of Kings Canyon National Park?
