Death Valley spreads out before you. Desolation Canyon Trail is a unique trail because it actually starts below Sea Level.
Mouth of Desolation Canyon
The canyon walls start to rise above you as the different colored rocks indicate different geological types.
Desolation Canyon Trail as it leaves the parking lot.
The canyon constricts quickly.
Looking back over your shoulder, you can get views of the Furnace Creek area (all the green).
The landscape has been shaped by wind and water over the years. The canyon starts to creep in on the trail at this point.
