I guess I found it hard to leave Death Valley NP because my next campsite, Ibex Pass, hovered on the edge of the park. Ibex pass’s only claim to fame is an old talc/soapstone mine. Plus the fact that you can see the Ibex Dunes in the distance. Oh, and let’s not forget to include the fact that nobody goes there…I was alone for my entire stay, which suited me just fine.
On the way from Death Valley to Ibex Pass, I found this pullout with these lovely yellowish dirt formations. If I remember correctly, this is actually the beginning of a hike, but I don’t recall where it goes.
Here’s the sunrise from my campsite at Ibex Pass
These are the Ibex Dunes as seen from Ibex Pass
And this is the world-famous Ibex talc mine. It has to be famous in SOMEONE’S world, right?
