Death Valley mud-cicles

 


Death Valley has lots of exposed minerals and rocks throughout the park. Rain is rare, but when it does arrive it can appear torrential. This photo shows the side of the canyon that has the Natural Bridge feature. After getting photos of the bridge, we started looking up the canyon a bit to see what other features we could find and noticed the patterns on the walls. These could be called mud-cicles. Or how about mud chandeliers? They were totally dry, but it's obvious how they formed.


Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
