I: Pahrump Point (5,740'), Stewart Point (5,265') - Start out the New Year with a fun weekend of rocky peakbagging near Death Valley NP high above the Chicago Valley north-northeast of Shoshone, CA. We'll move at a slow pace each day; however, each peak will require a strenuous effort, and although the routes will be restricted to Class 2 scrambling, comfort on steep and loose, rocky and thorny cross-country terrain is required. Saturday morning we'll get an early start and head into the "" Wilderness Area located along the eastern range bordering Chicago Valley; first we'll warm up by trudging across a broad alluvial fan, then we'll make our way up through a sometimes tight and rocky canyon before getting up onto a steep and loose, rocky and thorny ridgeline that will bring us up onto the narrow and rocky summit ridge, which we'll ascend to the summit of Pahrump Point. After thoroughly enjoying the reportedly exquisite views up there, we'll return the way we came in for a day's total of 8 RT mi with 3,400' gain. We'll make camp where we're parked and will celebrate the weekend under a nearly full moon sky with a traditional DPS Potluck Happy Hour. Sunday we'll head over to the nearby "Resting Spring Range" Wilderness Area located along the western range bordering Chicago Valley, and will once again venture out across the alluvium, up into a tight and rocky canyon before ascending steep and loose, rocky ridgelines to the summit of Stewart Point. We'll return the way we came for a day's total of 6.5 RT miles with 2,600' of gain. Feel free to join us for one or both days. This is a DPS Outing co-sponsored by HPS.

I: Rattlesnake Peak (5826’): Join us for an adventure via a unique route, an approach not possible for about half a century. In early 2013, we tackled the west side of Fang and discovered that the hot shots fighting the 2012 Williams fire had cleared, by hand, the length of the previously impenetrable crest. A second and bigger discovery (it was not visible from the road below) was the best flower display we had seen in the San Gabriels: purple painted slopes of giant Canterbury Bells and a treasure of bright yellow poppies and various flowers and colors. This weekend’s hike may not be as fortuitous as that April, but the high spirit and exhilaration of exploring and venturing up the route-less-traveled remain. Setting up a car shuttle and descending via route 1, we will total 10.5 miles and 4600’ gain for the day. Please bring liquids, lugsoles, layers, lunch and hat.

I: Orocopia Mountains HP (3,815'), Black Butte (4,504') – Join us for a late autumn weekend out in Riverside County, south and east of Joshua Tree National Park.

Saturday we'll head up the north slopes of the Orocopia Mtns via DPS Route A to their high point and enjoy fantastic views of the Salton Sea and Santa Rosa Mountains from the summit before heading back down to our cars via the route we came in on for a day's total of about 5.5 miles and 1,300' of gain. Saturday night we'll camp out where we're parked and will enjoy a festive Happy Hour and Potluck under star-packed, new moon night skies. Sunday we'll head a little further east to ascend Black Butte from the south following DPS Route A; expect about 6.5 miles and 1,800' of gain. Feel free to join us for one or both days.
