Travelers is at the southern end of the Santa Rosa range. I started hiking about a mile up Calcite Road at a convenient turnaround. It was a short hike up the road to the calcite mine, then the uphill started in earnest. There was a fine use trail above the mine. The terrain is made up of broken badlands and slot canyons. Almost no brush or cactus. Such barren! The south ridge was loose and crumbly. The mid-section of the hike has a couple of major bumps with some class 2. The trail faded out on one bump and I just did imaginary switchbacks to get over it. Near the top, there are a couple of narrow ridge sections and some semi-exposed class 2 on conglomerate sandstone. The views were spectacular on a clear day, north toward Rabbit, east to Salton Sea and badlands south and west. The benchmark is well preserved and there were two register books. The oldest went back to 1979. This is a true desert gem and one of my favorite desert peaks.
