Desolation Canyon - Death Valley

The Desolation Canyon route passes through a broad flood plain that transitions to a narrow gorge. Although it wasn't the most spectacular canyon I have visited in Death Valley, it was still a nice easy laid-back hike that traversed a path that was actually hardened mud instead of annoying gravel. The route eventually leads to a series of dry falls that become progressively harder to ascend (although certainly manageable). I tackled a few and then called it a day.
