USA Golden Canyon, Death Valley National Park, Nevada

Golden Canyon, like other canyons in the park, was formed millions of years ago. As the water receded from the area, alluvial fan piled on top of each other compressing the rocks, mud, slits and sand into cement-like conglomerates which were then pushed upwards by geological activities. Along the hike, a colourful mosaic of colours is visible in the canyon walls.
The hike, from start to the landmark, Red Cathedral, is approx. 2 miles roundtrip, and is an easy walk.

During sunset, the light from setting sun reflected the beautiful colours, rich patina of buffs, tans, pinks, browns, cinnamons, greens, and yellows, in the canyon walls, throughout the hike.
All of my photos were taken hand-held with a Nikon 24-120mm f/4 lens. A tripod is recommended. There are many photographic opportunities/compositions all along this hike.

The trailhead is located off Badwater Road, 2 miles south of Furnace Creek. There is ample parking at the Golden Canyon parking area, however, it was very crowded at just before sunset and there were a lot of families with their kids, on this hike for sunset.
