We did. Fun times. Also Borrego Wash Drop-Off and the smaller descent at Inspiration Wash. We did the entire overland route, or something like it, from Ocotillo to the Salton staging area with worthwhile side trips up Sandstone Canyon, Mud Palisades, Coyote/Sheep Canyons, and the obligatory late afternoon visit to Fonts Point. I had only been to Coyote Canyon before so it was great to get a sense of scale for the place. Gorgeous area, parts of it reminded me of Namibia. Looking forward to going back. But first, I have an appointment with the northern California overland discovery trails (Trinity/Shasta/Lassen) if the snow melts before I head back to Seattle.
A "full" overland route should include going to Dos Cabesas road from Ocotillo (due West, right along I-8, and crossing the railroad in a few places).
How much water was in Coyote Creek?
We've camped in Sandstone Canyon, about half a mile from Mud Palisades.

We went right by Dos Cabesas. Coyote Creek was a mere trickle compared to the last time I was up there (April 2021), when it was maybe hub deep on the LR3.
