What you'll see 🌄 Big views🕳️ Cave or arch

Three hidden slot canyons branching off an ordinary-looking wash south of Badwater.

Tips
The slots are easy to walk past - they open in the right-hand wall at roughly 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 miles up. Bring a torch; parts are genuinely dark, and there are chockstones to climb under.
