| partners | | Located in the southwestern Cottonwood Mountains of Death Valley National Park resides this popular canyon for a scenic drive-in, pic taking, easy day hiking, and backpacking. If you like marble, colorful geology, narrows, rock art, or all, put Marble Canyon high on your list.
This was Joe and my second full day of a planned seven days in DVNP. Randal and Mike had just arrived the night before. Due to significant rains in the park over the past three weeks found us needing to shuffle day outing around due to so many closed access roads within DVNP. Marble Canyon access from the Stovepipe Wells area of DVNP was open and from a previous years visit, I knew would be a good choice this day for us all to enjoy.
My hike description and our hike takes you through the most scenic Lower Marble Canyon Narrows #1 & #2 (ending at 1.6 miles in). We continued hiking past a couple of interesting petroglyph panels located ~2.0mls to 2.2mls in at way point N36.60982 W-117.34316; Unless doing a through canyon backpack trip, we recommend you day hike to this petroglyph panel site and then turn back. This will allow you to enjoy other late afternoon activities in and around the Stovepipe Wells area of DVNP. |
