Brooke's parents were in town for the weekend, so we decided to go for a hike in Death Valley on Friday. Our first stop was at Zabriskie Point to eat lunch and enjoy the view. After that we drove to the Golden Canyon trailhead and hiked the Golden Canyon / Gower Gultch loop. The hike was a nice 4 mile loop through the badlands below Zabriskie Point. Brooke, Stevi, and Walt enjoying the view from Zabriskie Point and taking some pictures. The typical view from Zabriskie Point. Nothing original here... Starting our hike up Golden Canyon. Brooke stopping to pose on our way over to Gower Gultch after reaching the top of Golden Canyon. Brooke stopped to take some pictures along the trail. Walt enjoying the view. We found lots of old mine shafts on our way down Gower Gultch. This was a short tunnel in the hillside. This was the end of Gower Gultch. There was about a 20ft dry waterfall at the end of the canyon. It looked like it would have been impressive during a flash flood. Of course it would also be hard to get to during a flash flood...
