Tips

This open landscape known as Surprise Valley is a fine spot to make camp before you hike up to the Esplanade. Since it is mostly flat, there is no shade, so be aware of heat or arrive in the late afternoon. To camp here, you need a backcountry permit for at-large camping at Surprise Valley (AM9).
