5k ski descent in the middle of nowhere, sweet!
Capitol Reef is a special place. I only drove through a tiny bit of it once so far as part of a loop through Utah, and I look forward to making enough time some day to wander aimlessly for a week or more in the backcountry there.
But seriously, this is about California! What we need to find is a 2 mile deep cave with a 20 mile walking approach, and mandatory scuba with custom gear to get through submerged sulfuric acid sections. And then a 1000 foot free-hanging rap through acid fog wondering how long the ropes will last. Plus an ancient tribe of Old Religion clerics sworn to defend the entrance at any cost.

Another view looking down the Enchanted Gorge
The Tunemah Peak area is out of sight to the right
I think the peak in the far distance is Goat Mountain. Can anyone confirm that?

Holy crap, dit, that's awesome
That's totally ballsy going up the E.G. in winter. Where do you think that big snowpack in the bottom of the Gorge came from?

If the most "road remote" place is in the Sierra, I'm sure Dit has been there.

LOL! Well ya. We weren't really expecting to get benighted in a 12" storm. We hunkered down in a spot sans debris cones and hoped for the best. Every time we woke to a muffled roar; "jet or slide?" It was a bit of a "Ruth Gorge" scene.
But it was pretty scenic

I ended up east of Tunemah Peak when I calculated it. Franky did you include the gated road SW of Hoffman Mtn? That's what pushed the location east.
