Canyon Walls

Mosaic Canyon, Death Valley National Park, CA
Canon PowerShot SD 770 IS

You want a slot canyon?  You want it made out of what?  Sandstone?  Hell no!  This is Death Valley, Baby,  Death Valley uses marble polished smooth by the gravel and grit in the flash floods that have carved the canyon.  That's just how Death Valley rolls.

Mosaic Canyon is one of my favorite places in the world.  Hiking up the slot canyon is a nice, easy hike with a couple of minor scrambles.  It eventually opens up into a wide, colorful canyon with a number of areas for exploration.  This photo was taken from just below the mouth of the slot canyon.  I have no idea what I was actually trying to capture with this photo.  It's kind of a mess.
