There are lots of great places in the southern part of ABDSP to see. If you haven't been up through Indian Gorge into Indian Valley, you should definitely try that. I saw a bighorn ram in the gorge last year and they lurk all around there. Once in Indian Valley there are some nice old trails to the palm groves to the south toward Mountain Palm Spring. If you want to do some climbing, the climb up Sombrero Peak is wonderful with great views the whole way up from Indian Valley. There are morteros, caves, and artwork around the Indian Valley area too, not to mention wonderful campsites scattered all about. It is much better to primitive camp than stay in campgrounds, just my opinion.

I second that! Indian Gorge is one of my favorite places. Just camp 1 night out there and you will be hooked on primitive camping!

Very nice campsite at the end of North fork Trail


and cool boulder scrambling

South Fork (Trail to Sombrero Peak)

worlds greatest playground, campsite in the distance at the trailhead to the palm groves just passed Torete Canyon

Wow, these pictures of yours are marvellous and magnificent! I really really like them all! TY for posting!
