A few weeks back, our jeep club went to the salt Trams in Southern California near Lone Pine. There is also the town of Cerro Gordo (and old ghost town) up there as well. We hit the trial on a Friday about 09:30 for a four (4) day trip. We got some rain off and on, including hail, but it was a great trip.

Airing down
At the bottom of the saddle, you can see two of the salt tram relay towers. They were mining salt from the Saline Valley, and transporting it over the mountain range for shipping.
The terrain and vegetation are changing as we continue our climb to 9,500 feet. We are at about 6,000 ft. here.
Close to the top of the tram, we have a view of the saline Valley (The haze you see in the picture is from the fires in Yosemite)
