It was an unusually cool weekend, so I went out to one of my favorite spots in the Spring Mountains to camp & hike for the weekend. The flowers are in full bloom out there & it is so pretty. First day I went up the ridge to Leapin' Lizard (so named for the little lizard that literally leapt up at me on the summit), then across the top & over to Obama, which had great views. I dropped down & visited the point labeled 2870 on maps as well. That was a nice rocky viewpoint. I then descended the other side, down a very rough canyon. I recommend descending one of the ridges, as the canyon had massive dryfalls to work around & lots of brush. This was a very different hike for the Spring Range & I enjoyed it very much. I saw no signs of people anywhere. Next day, I went to one of my favorite canyons which has major water flow right now. It was gorgeous!
