The mountain walls that make up the left side of the canyon rise above you at this point. There are lots of small, unnamed trails up here to explore if you are willing or you can just take in the views.

Looking into the canyon that you just climbed. As you can tell, there are lots of side canyons to explore if you want.

Desolation Canyon from above.

The views at the end of the trail are breathtaking. You can see Death Valley, the salts flats, the Furnace Creek area, and the geologic rock colors that make Death Valley famous.

Views of the surrounding mountains (snow capped in the early spring) and Artist Drive come into view at the top.

Badwater and the salt flats found there sit off in the distance.

Artist Drive winds through the landscape.
