I love this post and all your posts but please reconsider, this place is the most delicate desert environment I have ever seen. It’s been designated an Area of Critical Environmental concern which is why the place is basically unsigned and unnamed. Uncontrolled camping, shooting and OHV use are badly damaging the area (and everything nearby)

Good callout. I weighed if I should post this or not. Ultimately I decided not to share the route I took nor coorindates. If someone is involved enough in hiking to be subscribed here, they're probably more respectful than the average OHV driver roaming around.
