Can't wait for the report and pics!

YES! That is the place. It took us just over 3 hours to get there from our campsite near Tortuga. Well worth the effort!

Bless her heart !    :engel016:

Thanks, I was beginning to think I was in the wrong place but was pretty sure of where you were standing!

And thanks for the video cookie, it is a great view (but still closer to the road at Homer Wilson than the Fisk canyon location  :eusa_whistle:  :icon_wink:)

If someone were to hike the Punta and then go through a drainage and over to Dominguez and then across Dominguez and through another drainage and up and down Backbone Ridge, would one be in/near one of the more remote regions?
