Little Bridge Canyon - Death Valley National Park

If you've followed my blog for any amount of time, you know that I love love love Death Valley.  It's one of my favorite places on earth, and somehow, though we didn't plan it, we ended up there on our honeymoon.  This time around, though, we started exploring some of the more difficult to get to canyons, as well as a few that weren't in the guidebooks or named on the maps.  Little Bridge Canyon was the first on our list.  Simply getting to the mouth of the canyon requires a couple hour walk across the alluvial fans of Tucki Mountain.  Once you get in the canyon, though, you realize it's totally worth it.  The natural bridge the canyon is named after isn't as impressive as the bridges in some of Death Valley's other canyons, but the colors are fantastic!  Reds, yellows, golds and purples.  And complete solitude as well....
