This hike heads up a box canyon, just past Furnace Creek, and is centrally located in Death Valley National Park. It has a steady incline all the way. It is a wide, scenic, and highly popular trail. It branches off so you can hike on to Zabriskie Point, or you may head further up the canyon, until the trail dead ends at a rock formation called Red Cathedral.
The Vernal Pools are a unique type of wetland and environment. They are located adjacent near the entrance to Sano Surf Beach, and the Songs Plant. This is a unique protected area of vernal pools, and a habitat for fairy shrimp, an endangered species.
Just south of San Clemente, off Basilone road, you continue driving south past the powerplant toward San Onofre State Beach, where there is a campground, along with miles of bluffs, and trails.
