Howdee all.
I am lovin the Valley of Death…..☀
Our first day we did a few hikes and a drive.
This first hike is into Golden Canyon..about a four mile round trip.
I wanted to do a slideshow…but I cant do it offline…and i need to post this in a fifteen minute time period…so we don't waste the day doing wifi…
So I give you photos…instead of slideshow…
Shades of Golden, Orange and Yellow Golden….and Blue sky
Not allot of vegetation here..not sure what the plant is below.. Sunlight streaming thru rock..
We approach the CathedralThru the road of gold
The Cathedral getting closerBeautiful contrasts…Yellow, blue and orange
Andrew and Jeff…..on the yellow brick road… Andrew climbing up dune like hills..
The Cathedral
Jeff and Andrew checking out another route We leave the Cathedral and travel loop back to the car…
I am now wondering if this other golden mountain is the Cathedral… or maybe just a second one….
Sand dune looking hills Great textures….
This was a mining area….we check out a mineQuartz…
Crystals…Almost out of the Canyon
Onward to the car…. and our next adventure….
So I am in Love with this Valley..☀☀☀
Guess,I wouldn't be lovin it so much in the summer…but now its gorgeous, fascinating…and I cant wait for our next adventure ☀

WOW Dawn! It's been 30 years since I've been to Death Valley. Your beautiful photos brought back some fond memories. EXQUISITE!!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the stills better than a slideshow. I have time to really look at all the contrasts in them. I love the west...never been to Death Valley. I'm following along on your adventures.

Dawn, you captured Golden Canyon very well. Death Valley certainly does offer some starkly beautiful landscapes.
ReplyDeleteDoes this valley have the name "Death" because it looks so dry?
