Next we went to Scotty's Castle, a beautiful spanish style house built in the middle of the desert.
We then headed for Mosaic Canyon near Stovepipe Wells Village. We passed Ubehebe Crater, a huge 600 foot deep crater left by a volcano 2 thousand years ago.Once we reached the Mosaic Canyon, we hiked about 4 miles round trip through narrow passes and then wide open dry river beds.
Our last stop in the park was Darwin Falls just outside of Panamint Springs. It is about a mile into a canyon and all of a sudden there is lush vegetation that grew as a result of the waterfall. It is surrounded by desert terrain. We were able to watch a group of women repel down the falls into the very cold pool of water at the bottom!
