Solo Car Camping in the California High Desert | Trona Pinnacles

Trona Pinnacles had been on my list for quite some time and I finally had the opportunity to take the trip during the Memorial Day weekend. Lemme tell you...the tufa spires are just as captivating in real life as they look in the pictures. Very surreal to have a place like this only 3 hours away from Los Angeles.

Also, I hadn't been camping in the heat AND high winds in a while -- so please enjoy my struggle!
