Death Valley, CA
Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Short canyon walk off Badwater Road to a large natural bridge cut by flash-flood erosion through layered Death Valley sediments. The trailhead sits at the end of a roughly 1.5-mile dirt spur typically passable to sedans, with a vault toilet at the parking area. Easy out-and-back; summer heat is extreme—start early.
