Travel: Mosaic Canyon (1 of 4)

Robert writes, "This trail was my favorite hike at Death Valley. We affectionately re-named it Marble Canyon for the polished white, 'marblish' stone that ran throughout the canyon. Turns out there's already another Marble Canyon in the park...oh well.

It's about a mile drive on gravel to get to the trailhead and after about a 20 minute drive over a washboard road, we found out there's no bathroom (pit toilet as they call it). The Navigator mentioned this a few times, while holding the park map; I should have turned around, but, the Driver was in denial. So, we had to backtrack and take the road for a second time back to the last known bathroom at Stovepipe Wells.

After round 3 of that little gremlin of a road we finally made it back to the trailhead. In the end, all the added drama was worth it, since it was such a cool hike. Left side of the image reveals the embedded stone from which the canyon gets the 'mosaic' name."
