Hello all,
My wife and are planning on visiting Mojave National Preserve one weekend in April (probably leaving Los Angeles Thursday night and leaving Mojave NP on Sunday). I would like any suggestiongs on Sunrise/Sunset locations and various places to visit and photograph. I would definitly like to visit the dunes, Cima Dome and other volcanic features. I was tentitivly planning on driving in on the 15 or 40 and then returning the other way. Places to camp are also welcome. Thanks for all your help,
Scott

P.S. I was reading an article recently on Banshee Canyon. Looks like an interesting place to visit...

Places to camp: Official campgrounds at MidHills, Hole In The Rock: Both good, Mid Hills higher alt. thus cooler, partially burnt through by fire but some nice pinyon-juniper surrounded campsites remain.
Less official, old BLM sites: Sunrise Rock: across the street from the Cima Dome/Teutonia Peak hiking trail(convenient, nice), Kelso Dunes: west of the main parking area(.5-1.0 mile?) for the dunes is a nice tree shaded site, still fairly close to the dunes. All easily accessable w/ normal car. Many more options for those w/ 4WD, including the Cinder Cones area, but beware of sandy spots along dirt roads if 2WD. A good CA state atlas(Benchmark, DeLorme) has most of the 4WD roads. The single sheet park map by Tom harrison Cartography has a few more of the old BLM campgrounds marked. Cheers. -KB-
