Death Valley Badlands
Taken in the early morning while hiking the Badlands, Golden Canyon and Gower Gulch Loop, starting at Zabriskie Point. Including the side trip to Red Cathedral, it is ~7.8 miles.
An early start (right after photographing sunrise at Zabriskie Point) made for beautiful light and uncrowded trails. Several times during my stay, I noticed the Golden Canyon trailhead parking lot was full to overflowing in mid-afternoon.
For those interested in doing this hike, it is described including a detailed map at www.nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/golden-canyon.htm.
Thanks for visiting!
