Another desert trip is lined up, this one trying to fit in the bloom before the temperatures set in and make the Park difficult to hike in. The Mescal Bajada is the largest north facing alluvial fan of Whale Peak, fed by many canyons all filled with botanical treasures. It is here that the Kumeyaay would traverse the incredibly rugged terrain of the Lagunas to harvest pinyon nuts and other desert delicacies, while waiting out the snow. We'll be lightly exploring the Winter Village and the stone morteros, then deciding on a direction along Mine Canyon or Bighorn Canyon.
