The landscape has been shaped by wind and water over the years. The canyon starts to creep in on the trail at this point.
Gravel washes line the trail and offer opportunities to explore if you are so inclined.

Dried cracked mud floor of the canyon
Gravel washes line the trail and offer opportunities to explore if you are so inclined.
A gravel wash encroaches on the trail. Take the opportunities in shaded areas like this to take a break and drink some water before continuing on your way.
Another rock wall that requires a little bit of scrambling. If you have poles, you either have to put them in your pack or throw them up so you can make the scramble.
Some scrambling is required on the trail, as you can see by the 6 foot dryfall on the right that has to be climbed in order to continue on the trail.
Moving along Desolation Canyon.
Rocks move downhill leaving tracks behind them. This is reminiscent of the racetrack in the northern part of the park.
