75 and sunny,
Palm grove at the Inn. These creosote bushes were the only thing we saw blooming.
Heading into Marble Canyon. The first narrows of Marble canyon.
The third narrows of Marble canyon, said to be the prettiest narrows in Death Valley.
Third narrows of Marble Canyon.
Third narrows and at the end of the narrows.
Petroglyphs.
I think these petroglyphs are more modern, not native americans. The walls of the canyon are striped with colorful layers that are uplifted and twisted.
Heading back through the narrows on our way back.
Colorful wall in the narrows. The lower canyon.
Heading back. Chert nodules and quartz intrusions.
The Inn is an oasis in the desert. We were having dinner and the fire alarm went off, they evacuated us outside and this was the view.
Happy Birthday to Judy.
