Malpais Mesa Hike Video

Malpais Mesa Wilderness is one of the most arid regions I’ve ventured into. There are no springs and receives an infinitesimal amount of precipitation annually, positioned as it is in the Sierra Range’s rain shadow. Despite this, creatures still thrive here though not as densely as in other areas with more abundant sources of water. It is a fascinating place and is the southernmost terminus of the Inyo Mountains.
