We had just purchased the Montero as our next adventure rig after getting rid of the aging Trooper. We thought a nice easy shake down run was appropriate. So our friend Bryan and his girlfriend Kasey joined us for a day run to the ghost town of Tip Top. I had to say, the Montero impressed me and I decided that it was a good platform to build off of. Spring in the desert is always a great time to get out and do some exploring and hiking.

The views are always amazing.

Always fans of the desert in bloom, the flowers are colorful and add a beauty to the desert like no other place in the world.

Even a little water running across the trail.

A reminder of times gone by.

The desert slowly taking back the land where the town sits. The town was once home to 1200 people
Remember to tread lightly and leave no trace.
