Introduction
NOTE: This canyon was named Joyride Canyon, and is named in-memoriam for JOY WELLING, who had been a canyoneer doing exploration trips to Death Valley earlier with me Scott Swaney & others. The team wanted to name a canyon in her honor. She was a very special teammate to have along on the trips, and will be missed. She had been in a rappelling accident last spring. So everyone be careful setting the anchors.
