Partway up the west escarpment of Hart Mountain, there is a small pullout on the gravel road. If you walk over the little rise to the west of the pullout, you will have amazing views of the valley and lakes beyond.
Looking out into forever.
Lichen on the rocks.
It is a long way down if you happen to trip and fall.
The Poker Jim Bathtub Ring is visible from the pullout. It is the transition between dark rock and light sagebrush in the distance. That marks the high water point when the lakes were full and water plentiful. Long gone are the days of huge lakes in this part of the world.
Desert wildflowers.
