Death Valley Deep Dive 2024

[Beardilocks]

Once again back with a Road Condition Report.  This time Galena Canyon.

I had actually never been up Galena before.  One of the few park roads with that distinction.  My first time in DV I hit Queen of Sheba and figured that was close enough.  Well, all these years later I rectified that. 

This time the road has, by and large, been left as it was .  They dozered any gullies or horribly washed out sections but left the rest of the road alone.  It's washed out a bit in places and has pretty big rocks in the road here and there.  It's much as it's always been (I assume).  Which is nice after the heavy plowing of Trail/Johnson.  For some reason I didn't take any photos on the way up.  So you'll have to use your memory and/or imagination. 

I knew there was a lot of mining relics up here but it really is heavily worked over.  Looks like most stuff is standing as it has been for many ages of man.





Not too many places in DV get these special signs. 








I definitely didn't give myself enough time to explore around up here.  Dangit, one more reason I'll have to stick around DV.
