November 8 in Nightmare Gulch

Sixteen of our Hiking Club members spent the day in the high desert north of Mojave, in Nightmare Gulch in Red Rock Canyon State Park. Having hiked in most of the weird places of the greater southwest, Nightmare Gulch might be the weirdest canyon I've yet seen. This was my fourth trip to this canyon.
Weird erosional forms
Runoff has created this weird 'downspout' feature in the wall
An old wall collapse debris pile, eroding away
Colorful walls
The only animal we saw all day
