Subtle earthen fall palette in this canyon scene. I like this view of the distant peaks and the indirect light below.

Thanks, Alan. Very few people photgraph this canyon for some reason. I think it's interesting.

Great composition Kurt. I like the way I'm guided down the canyon.

Nice pocket of yellow in the granite.

The rabbitbrush was in full bloom that's for sure!

Love that early morning light (?) in this. That's a really beautiful canyon. I really like the starkness of those peaks in the background.

There are three brutal trailheads at the end of this canyon, a tungsten mine that at one time produced most of the tungsten in the world, and one well-known rock climbing area. Pretty sure I might have contracted West Nile virus on one of the trails starting from this canyon last summer...

The rabbit brush has gone bonkers over the past few weeks around here!

Thanks, Jim. This was a morning image. Not many people photograph this canyon but I find it interesting.

I hiked up to slot canyon down below to check it out. I think climbers call it Scheelite Canyon. Pretty rugged area. Right off the bat!

I was going to say the same thing as Alan! This one flows nicely to the peaks. Got to say I need to visit the Eastern Sierra. It's been too long!
