View N to NE from Badger. Note the unmanned relay post at right. At left in the distance is Mount Irish. There is a register on top, with very few names. |
SE from Badger. Most of the terrain in the valley is covered with rhyolite flows; Badger itself is limestone. |
This strange benchmark was near the military installation. |

Top of Tikaboo. |
View N from Tikaboo. The top of the mountain is sandstone, and is covered with junk from all the UFO fans who go up there to look W at Area 51. |

On the drive out, we stopped at this pot-hole-filled rhyolite. Native Americans stopped here to make arrows, leaving non-native flints and agates. |
