On the Mojave Trail over New Year 2007 - 2008

The Mojave trail trip finishes up going along the Mojave river bed through Afton canyon with eroded walls. This area is in the Manix fault zone .   The walls are a combination of conglomerate and alluvium show many types of soils in several colours, including brown, blue-gray, red, black-gray, pink and light gray.  I took several pictures of the canyon walls to try to provide a representative sample of the colours and shapes to be seen there.

Part of the Mojave trail goes through a Joshua  tree forest

Part of the Mojave trail goes through Soda Lake, a large dry lake bed. In the middle of the lake bed is a plaque commemorating an event that took place there in the late 1800's.  It is traditional for travelers to bring a rock with them and lay it on the pile surrounding the plaque

Sections of the trail are in sand washes

And some parts are over fields of volcanic rocks. Photo by Ian Kelly
