Got up early - on the road by 7:15
Stopped at Tylers Lookout
Went to Palm Valley - serious four wheeling - stopped a one point unsure about the road - walked to check it out and learned from local that we were almost to the trailhead. So we got back in the car and continued up the crazy looking road.
Hiked 2hr trail - weird terrain with palms in the middle of the desert (only place they exist)
Drove to Glen Helen - a little depressing because it was a small local town in the middle of the dusty desert. Looked run down and shabby - got diesel/pop and a permit we probably didn’t need
Road was supposed to be 3 hrs on dirt road / drove in two.. crazy washboard (“corrugated“) and dusty. It had no real places to stop on the road so we pulled over just on the side to make sandwiches and when we opened the back door in came lots of sand.
Made it to Kings Canyon Resort and camped ($40)
Had a cider/beer at the Thirsty Dingo (bar/cafe/bbq place). Watched the sunset and drank wine.
Wasn’t too impressed with the sunset there.
Made dinner in the shelter (burritos) and saw a dingo run through
