Golden Canyon Trail is a short and easy hiking trail located 2 miles south of Highway 190 on Badwater Road in the Death Valley National Park, California. A short walk in the Golden Canyon trail gives an awesome montage of various geologic events in Death Valley's natural history. Looking closely at the rock formation and you will notice the layers that are composed of sediment of various size. Once upon a time, Golden Canyon was covered by lake. Over 5 million years of geological evolution, these rock formation transformed from the loose material into solid conglomerate, the uplift and erosion, and flash flooding exposed these formations that we seen today.
Golden Canyon is best visited and photographed at dawn and dusk. Nevertheless, the mid-day provide unlimited photography opportunities, particularly close-up and black-and-white photography. The geological formation is so diverse that you will be amazed with the patterns, textures and lines of the rock formation. This is a great place to photograph beyond the magic hour.
