silver island range day hike - March 28, 2010
We'll go exploring in this ferociously rugged string of mountains that runs north from Wendover. There's so much to see here -- when you look up there are jagged spires and cliffs, and eye-filling vistas of the vast white salt flats, while at your feet you may see cubical iron crystals like black dice, or fossil shells in yellow iron pyrite. Any route will be cross-country and steep with scrambling and some possibility of exposure; tough boots are recommended. We may attempt Volcano Peak, or try some exploratory route on Graham or Campbell Peak.
