Death Valley - Furness Creek to Shoshone.

After having our picnic lunch under the palm trees at Furness Creek we drove south on the Badwater Road, I think this is highway 178, just a few kilometres to Golden Canyon where we went for a short walk, we didn't do the full walk, perhaps a kilometre in and then back, the temperature was 33c when we left the truck, in the canyon it was a lot hotter.

Two more photos of the canyon.

 We then moved on a little further down the road to drive the Artists Palette drive, which is a one way loop off the main road about 15 km round with some amazing coloured rocks


 The sky in this photo really sets off the coloured rocks.

Leaving the loop road.
Down at the bottom of Death Valley.

Probably the most photographed spot in Death Valley, you had to get in line to take your photo.

Interesting colours evan here.
 leaving the valley, just a few kilomtres from Shoshone.
Today trip from Pahrump through Death Valley and back to Pahrump a total of 33 kilomtres, quite a drive.
