Death Valley, California - Golden Canyon

Text on back: Death Valley National Park. A walk through Golden Canyon reveals splendid panoramas of Manly Beacon and the Red Cathedral. Golden Canyon was created as water, carrying abrasive material such as sand and gravel, cut through the layers of rock. The Red Cathedral is an ancient alluvial fan whose iron compounds solidified into stone. Manly Beacon is a deposit of clay. Photos by Jim Stroup. Postcard is new, unused and in mint condition.
