Amargosa River crossing
The Amargosa flows slowly into Death Valley.
Owlhead Slot Canyons
Granite flatlands
Heading up towards the mountains
Brain drops into the wash.
The wash becomes entrenched
The canyon narrows ahead
The right fork gets very narrow
Into the slot
Dry fall at the end of this slot canyon
Brian and Dale at the end of this slot.
Into the other slot.
The canyon cuts through old alluvials.
The slot ends in a dry fall
Above the canyons. I spot a single smoke tree growing in a canyon.
We hike around to find the lone smoke tree.
Lone Smoke Tree
Brian photographs Dale at the smoke tree.
We head up the canyon
The canyon widens after this, so we turn around here.
Back out
This is a fantastic landscape
We set off to find another slot canyon.
Nice and tight
This is a spectacular slot.
It comes to a quick end at a dry canyon though.
Ending out
We pass the lone smoke tree on the way out.
Desolate landscape
Time to hike out.
