I went up the way you did, but lost time trying to follow the trail up. It looks like the other branch of trail, the one that you came down, is much better. Is the pic that you labelled just "Death Valley" from the summit?
Really beautiful weather and nice pix, thanks!
The northern branch is more distinct. The only thing about it is finding it where it leaves the wash. Walking the wash upcanyon requires making various decisions at branches and could be confusing. Maybe Google Earth shows the trail. At the final branch a big cairn sits atop the little ridge dividing it. Go right but the trail still is not quite visible until in that branch of the wash.
