Death Valley
Wow! That’s about all I can say. Death Valley amazes me. Everytime I go I’m just blown away by the park. This time I spent 4 days out there, photographing and collecting information on ghost towns, geology and wildlife in the area.
I spent some time on the back country roads checking out Owl Hole Spring and Greenwater. Got some great shots of a loggerhead shrike at the spring and discovered out my previous post was slightly awry in the information it presented- I’m going to have to read with a little bit more comprehension in mind,… next time.
I spent a couple days in the Furnace Creek area and was treated to a fine display of wildlife in the forms of both a red-tailed hawk and a coyote. I didn’t have my long lense with me as I explored a spring with runoff flowing alongside the compound.
I made a trip up into Echo Canyon and visited the ghost camp of the Inyo mine and snapped a few shots of the Needle’s Eye on the way back down. I also hiked the 1.25 miles into Golden Canyon and saw the Red Cathedral up close.
For now, that’s about it. I have tons of information regarding wildlife and behavior I’ve been getting preparing to post including endemic (only in Death Valley) species lists. Watch for some of this on the features pages in the coming weeks as it’s ready.
