Along with his friend and painting companion Conrad Buff, Payne would often travel by Model T on dusty roads up to the Owens Valley. From there he would travel by horse or mule to remote locations in the high country. As these visits increased through the years, Payne chose to climb further and further into the mountains in order to seek out the most spectacular vantage points he and his party could find.

Edgar Payne sometimes planned his studio painting in the evening; he very often sketched penciled compositions as he sat listening to the radio. They were little composition sketches, working out artistic problems.
