Introduction
One of the most hiked tourist canyons in Death Valley. Canyon was used for filming the first Star Wars movie and has interesting geology. There is also relatively easy access to non-technical slot canyon hiking and very minor scrambling towards the Red Cathedral area. A Death Valley "must do".
