John, what an intriguing route and I was not aware of the Keane Spring up in that area. All the images are super but this one with the the afternoon December light on the south west face of the Monarch Canyon Waterfall was gorgeous. This lovely canyon and mine works was one of my first explorations after discovering DEVA a decade ago.

FYI- Here's what Monarch looks like hiking east from Beatty Cut Off in the afternoon. Gets much more interesting after 4:20 and the Desert Snow Cone.
