Death Valley 2022/23

[DeathValleyDazed]

I'm enjoying your trip report and images. This is my favorite image of the your batch because of the colors, texture and background. I believe that there is water visible in the foreground being the head water of Salt Creek flowing past McLean Spring to Salt Creek's pupfish board walk. I enjoy attempts to keep my bearings in the images posted in the forum so here is my attempt from your image:

Here is a Google Earth image with my attempt to guess your camera location and horizon land marks. I might be off on some of these locations. What I did not label was your dead on view into Trellis Canyon and Forbidden Canyon (named by Steve Hall) at the north east base of Tucki Mountain.

By the way I don't believe what you label as an "Indian Trail" in one of your other images is not actually that, but rather a burro trail to the waters of Salt Creek. I sure could be mistaken. I'm not sure the burros drink out of Salt Creek because otherwise they would have totally trashed the entire stream above Salt Creek to McLean Spring?

I may have crossed some of your path on a jaunt I took a few years ago in the same general area? Time stamp 5:10 shows the remains of a bridge that Mojave Geek mentioned in another thread recently.
