We all know the desert is too hot. Last year we went and car camped up on Toro Peak. Then did day hikes on the bench east of Toro.
It amazes me that there are no signs of Native American occupation. Not one shard of pottery !
The helicopter crash site is just North of the landing pad east of Toro Peak.
We camped about a half mile before the locked gate to Toro Peak on the North side of the road.
Nice campsite.

Great place to escape the heat. I have enjoyed many camps on the sides of Toro peak over the decades. Sweet water was always flowing at "the spring" to tank up. Last car camp (truck) was off an old logging road heading east / south east from the main road near the spring.
My understanding of the lack of Native occupation at up in the higher mountain areas is that is home to the spirits.
