Styx Canyon - Death Valley

Canyoneering trip to Death Valley. We did a South Fork of Styx Canyon (4A IV), descending from Dante's View (5476 ft) to Bad Water (-270 ft), whole day adventure with 14 rappels according to description (we didn't count) and a lot of scrambling and down climbing.

We was planning backpacking trip over 3 days, but my old Honda Accord did not make it to the trail head through deep sand. It was quite a challenge to dig it out and drive backwards. At least there was no drama with camping in the park, you can legally camp anywhere 1 mile from the main freeways.
