* DESERT EXPLORERS *

The Management Committee of DPS should establish an Exploration Committee to promote and maintain records of all desert exploration activity conducted by the leaders of the Section. Various lists could be maintained by states (CA, NV, AZ) and subdivided by peaks, traverses, canyons, etc. None of this would have to become a part of the bylaws, or be voted on by the membership. This would not interfere with the official peaks list. This would only be used by the persons interested in this type of activity. Should this appeal to many members, some formalized procedure could be established for a certificate, badge, or honorable mention in the SAGE.

Barbara Lilley and Gordon McLeod have submitted a list for Arizona, and some peaks for other areas. Andy Zdon, Wes Shelberg, Ron Jones, and others have supplied names of various peaks, and traverses or canyons. Some of these have already been described in the SAGE. The lists below represent a good beginning. The locations and elevations in many cases are approximate. They can be updated as trips are led.
