Looks like the area along Kaolin Wash just east of the road going up to the White Domes area. Not far from the Fire Wave. I like your take on the the colors and the point of view you chose for this composition.
In recent years I have seen maps depicting this as Pastel (or Pink) Canyon although I never saw that name when I first visited that area in 2012.

Thanks, Alan. I believe that is close to the area that you are thinking of. Kind of a tricky area as the addition of too much sky decreases the depth of the composition. I was in there for a while trying to figure things out and I like this take on things. I will be back someday to go into other canyons and see what happens.
i must say that not explore Valley of Fire very well the one time ie was there. You have a lovely I,age here
Very cool work Kurt! There is so much in that area between the Fire Wave and White Dome. It's a fun area to just walk around and explore. There are a couple of trails, but I have had the most fun just wandering around in there. Good work here, and I hope you get back there again.

Thanks again, Jim. I will definitely make my way back at some point. I need to spend more time in the misc. canyons vs. the main trails.
