Great trip reports, we enjoyed the pictures and narrative. We had planned to camp at Furnace Creek at about the same time but ran short on time...had to return to the "real" world.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for letting me "take a trip and never leave the farm" in between gripe sessions from clients from whom the Federal Gummint is extracting copious sums of cash (CPA in a tax practice).
I simply MUST get out to DV one of these days. The rocks are unreal.
What's the elevation change between the summit of U-Peak and the playa surface on the Racetrack? Looks to be several thousand feet.
Can you imagine the thrill the geomorphologists felt when they witnessed the actual formation of the grooves on the playa recently? I am frankly a little surprised it took so long for the professionals to sort it out.
Looking forward to Part IV. And a day off tomorrow, the first since some time in late February.

Very cool day! I'm sure made even more satisfying by the detective work that preceded, adding another dimension of accomplishment to the discovery and enjoyment of a special place. What a great trip (and report) so far.

What a special place. Very happy you found it and enabled our vicarious visit. An enormous amount of time and effort must have been spent creating the art in such precarious positions.
Thank you.

Amazing. I knew there was a reason for the part 3 cliffhanger. This canyon looks like a treasure trove. I need to learn rock climbing.
All in all another spectacular trip.
