Hiking Copper Mountain, The Mojave Desert, Twentynine Palms, CA.

Exploring Copper Mountain in the Mojave Desert near Twentynine Palms. This hike was a backup plan after my original Joshua Tree NP plans went awry. With very little useful information to go with, I studied Google Maps to see if I could get close to Copper Mountain before parking. I found a place to park on the side of Siesta Drive right before the road turned into a full fledged 4WD road. From there, the hike began with the goal of summiting a desert mountain and taking advantage of the cool winter temperatures. A nice social distancing hike too, since there wasn't anybody else around for miles!
