Golden Canyon is a section near the Badlands Loop and can be extended as a hike into Gower Gulch. You will enjoy the colorful rock formations, but try to avoid to hike in the heat of the day.

The Golden Canyon Trail is one of the most scenic trails in Death Valley National Park. The trailhead is off Badwater Road, two miles south of Hwy 190. There is an information board at the parking lot (with outhouse) and a box has self-guided tour brochures that you can pick up for 50 cents. one can take. There are small markers at 10 points along the trail and the brochure provides relevant information about these points and the formation of the canyon.

An easy hike through a valley of different colors. But be careful, as in the Valley of Death, take enough water with you. It can get very hot.
