Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

Next up that day was an LPB (low probability bridge) not far away.  Just about a long enough drive to eat a granola bar.  I believe this one is on Kauri's map as Sculptured Canyon?

This wire was laying across the wash as we walked up.  I'm guess maybe the old telegraph line or from Skidoo?  Or a support wire?  I'll admit not knowing what telegraph wire looks like.  I'm getting old but I'm not that old.


It turns into a nice deep conglomerate canyon pretty quickly.


We found a neat tunnel made by a collapsed wall section that led to a nice slot.


There was also this beautiful red/pink section of rock.




It got very deep after a while.  Human for scale.


Finally ending abruptly at a monster dryfall.  I was guesstimating it about 75-80ft.  




It also had a really cool twist in the dryfall that made what appeared to be a bridge, but that we suspected was a toppled hoodoo.  Kauri (who has been up to the top)later confirmed that it is a rock and not a bridge.




Looking back down canyon.
