220.04km 37.07km Jct. of 264/6 With the exception of a short downhill you are now beginning to climb the eastern side of the White Mtns. to Montgomery Pass at 7000'+. We camped about 4 miles short of the pass, along a road that took off north from the main highway. High elevation but still sagebrush. Outstanding views of night skies and wild mustangs. SSE 143° 1772m
232.77km 12.73km Junction of 264/773 Flat/gradual climb to this point. One small stream from mountains crosses this road about 3/4 of the way from Dyer to here. The cool water and shade trees were very welcome. S 176° 1568m
268.12km 35.35km Dyer, NV It's about 15 miles of very gradual climb to Dyer. Beautifully desolate views of the east side of White Mountains. Dyer has a market/trailer park/post office. That's about it. Mid-June temps: 93 and dry, dry, dry. SSE 142° 1497m
297.63km 29.51km Deep Springs Valley Wonderful downhill into the desolate Deep Springs Valley, home of the Deep Springs College. We were passed by 3 or 4 cars along this portion of the route. You climb out of Deep Springs to Gilbert Summit at about 6300'. SSW 202° 1731m
324km 26.38km Turnoff to Bristlecone Pine Forest SSW 192° 2222m
326.56km 2.56km Westgard Pass You've just climbed 15 miles from Big Pine to Westgard Pass, 3900' to a little over 7000'. There is a spring on the left, halfway up this climb. It's a lifesaver for shade and water during the hot season. Primitive camping is everywhere. Pinyon, juniper, ocassional Bristlecone. SSW 197° 2153m
