Death Valley | Nov 2011

Thanksgiving and 3rd Anniversary trip to Death Valley National Park. Stayed 4 nights in Texas Spring Campground. Blog post with all of my iPhone panoramas from this trip - Death Valley iPhoneography

<span id="title">Cairn</span>
<em>Artists Drive</em>
At the first pull-off along Artists Drive, we hiked up a small hill to see the view. At the top, there were several cairns - piles of rocks usually used to mark a trail. We saw them all over the place in Death Valley, but they were usually not needed. It seems like it's just a thing people do for the hell of it.
