Most viewed - Marble Canyon, 10/25/2019

Overhang804 viewsPossible shelter from rain, if it ever rains here.

On the Road to Marble Canyon782 viewsThe road from Stovepipe Wells to Marble Canyon is passable for high-clearance 2-WD vehicles, but 4WD is highly recommended.

The Loop774 viewsJoAnn (left) and Kelly (right) pose at the sign marking the beginning of the Cottonwood-Marble Canyon Loop.

Fork in the road755 viewsThe sign indicates two possible ways to go, Cottonwood or Marble Canyon. We followed the advice of the guy who said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

Striations751 viewsLooks as if some vandal showed up with a brush and a can of white paint, but these are actually natural features in the rock.

Heading Back751 viewsThese towering cliffs are part of the scenery on the road between Stovepipe Wells and Marble Canyon.

Coming up short747 viewsI had come ill-prepared for the hike, being under the misapprehension that it was about half as long as it was; I didn't wear hiking boots and didn't bring enough water, so I turned back about halfway through.

Ingress to Marble Canyon736 viewsJoAnn starts the trek into Marble Canyon from the trailhead, where we parked the Jeep.

An Easy Hike736 viewsAs far as I went, the trail was mostly level and relatively smooth. I think it got harder up ahead, but I didn't get that far.

Staggering Stonewalls735 viewsThe walls of the canyon reel like some crazy collapsed building.

From Shadow to Sun735 viewsThe contrast between the sunlit and shadowed areas is like night and day.

The Big Squeeze734 viewsAt times the high and steep canyon walls narrowed down to passages just a few feet wide.
