Death Valley October 2019!

I just returned from hiking 82 miles in three full days in Death Valley National Park. The last day I spent in the Mojave National Preserve and Sloan Canyon.

1. Wow, you are a hardy soul!

And petroglyphs!

I love them! Did you know they were there, or was it just luck?

Anyway, they're great.

3. Some I did

The really old dark ones, I had a suspicion about. There are lots of basalt outcrops in the area and there is one known major site. So, I did an 18 mile loop checking the rest of the outcrops and found those along with the grinding slick.

The younger ones were all in Sloan Canyon.

Thanks!

2. Had a coworker who made a 74 or 114 mile walk thru there every other year

There was an area littered with appliances and a mean bison that ruled the place.

4. Death Valley is a beautiful place to hike!

But doubtful that I would hike 84 miles.

Great photos!
