Nevada : Black Rock Desert
1. Arrival in Black Rock Desert, immense area that a part, the “Playa”, is without any vegetation.
2. Rain and snow have turned up the Playa area in deep mud, prohibiting VivaLaVida to venture there.
3. Contrast is beautiful with the snow on the mountains around.
4. A source allows some “cotonwood” to display fall colors.
5. Playa extends over almost 35 miles long and 20 wide.
6. Jackson Ranch.
7. Funny sign at a junction in the middle of nowhere…
8. VLV has gone through this rather deep ford..!
9. Wonderfull lazte afternoon light over Pahute Peak…
10. Difficult to show you how the track was slippery and muddy…
11. Last rays over Black Rock Range.
12. I arrived at night at Double Hot Spring what doesn’t stop me from enjoying a relaxing bath under the stars. 😉
13. If you bathe in a tub, it’s that in the above source itself the water is 172 F… A little hot to bathe!
14. Black Rock Desert’s Playa…
15. VivaLaVida adventures despite the risk of getting bogged down…
16. And changes in mud transportation! 😀
17. A little further, there is that. 😉 One of the most beautiful hot springs I discovered, a real natural pool almost heart shaped from this angle…
18. Here’s Black Rock Point, this black hill which gave its name to the desert.
19. I camped overnight at this beautiful hot spring, not without enjoying relax baths in evening and morning.
20. Black Rock Point adorn itself in orange, the moon rising above to wish good night to the only spectator of the place I am…
After this short tour of Northern Nevada, I headed to Utah to go meet a friend with some adventures that I will tell you soon… 😀
amazing spring… your right totally awesome huge wonderful bliss out pond ! Is this hot pond in the immediate area of the BurnMan camp area ? I had not heard of this spring in all the tales i’d heard .. nice going ! Did you merely stumble upon this or come with previous knowledge or ? Best to you Dude !
Thanks Canyon. Definitely one of the mots beautiful hot spring I discovered till now. I knew about its location before to go to but didn’t expected such a nice pool. It’s not right in the Burning Man area but when the Playa is dry, you just have to drive about 20 miles on it, so easy to access. When the Playa is wet as when I was there, it’s another story: about a one drive on really rough 4WD roads…
