This embankment serves as a handrail to the canyon mouth.
Water made a big undercut of the canyon wall here.
The canyon is wide at first, but before long it starts to narrow and the walls get higher.
Fantastical rock shapes abound.
About a mile in, the canyon splits. We went up the right fork first.
Rock towers guard the walls.
The canyon is a riot of shapes and colors.
Don't walk by this opening. You want to look inside.
The right fork ends at this 8 foot dryfall for those without scrambling/climbing skills.
Returning to the left fork, we saw this boulder defy gravity. We did not linger underneath.
The left fork also has some interesting parts.
Happy hikers deep in rock walls.
We finished the day sitting on the patio of the Furnace Creek Inn with a glass of wine watching this sunset.
