Death Valley Desolation Canyon, Golden Canyon and Zabriski's Point

Good Evening. We started the day at Desolation Canyon. There are directions to get here, but no sign on the road for where to turn and no signs on the trail.  Relearning how to use our hand held GPS.
Ken working on climbing the first wall we came on.

Ken making his way up after me.
Mid day sun above the canyon. Golden Canyon is just that in color.
This is a lizard called a Chuckwalla. This is a small juvenile. He posed for me. His stubby tail is how they are. It swells up to hold fat for future eating.
Ken went up top to see what was on the other side.
Kicking up some dust as he makes his way down.
Red Cathedral. We walked way back in Golden Canyon to get the the base of this structure.
Long day - got up to 84 degrrees, which for hiking was a little warm for me, but we carry lots of water.
