Be just like Mosaic Canyon back home.

The road to Mosaic Canyon was just 10 yards up the road from Stovepipe Campground. It's long uphill hike through huge slabs of polished marble framed with red rock cliffs. I started up Mosaic Canyon just after midday and went as far as I could without bouldering while wearing all my photo gear. In the 3 or so hours on the trail much of the canyon never saw full sun because the walls are so high.

Geological forces are still at work in Death Valley.  Some point in the recent past, this boulder rolled off a ledge some 20 feet above to rest in trail.

There are many more pictures from Mosaic Canyon in the full gallery, linked in the sidebar.
