Very nice trip, thanks for posting.  I love the single leaf pinyon, any day spent with those is a good one, and stellar views to boot.

Occidental, thanks for the nice comment! Yup, we love the pinyon.

In summit photo, you guys do look cold but positively ecstatic at Julie’s return to full spec.  Thanks for dragging us along. This might be a great year for exploring again.

Julie's worked so hard to get good results from the knee replacements. To watch her make a non stop 1500 vertical feet steep descent without stopping and pain free is pretty darn phenomenal. Yup, pretty ecstatic. Thanks Paul!

Dang!  You two keep hitting it out of the park for us.  

That's our favorite tub too.  Re-tirement is calling me...

 

Thanks Andy! It was great to find that tub available. Answer that call. Answer that call!

 

Ain’t Galena Peak a dandy place?

It sure is rubberlegs! And, you know there's another peak out there I'm hearing "Can we? Can we?" over and over.

 

Perhaps we'll get a chance to do it.

Monte, thanks for the invite for the vicarious tag along.  We enjoyed seeing the country with you and Julie!  So good that Julie’s knee ones are back to specifications.

 

You are most welcome, Mr. Sage!

If this is aligned with a fault, this may explain why  the rock was more easily eroded, forming this incredible section of canyon.

 

 

Here's our visit in November 2014 - Corridor Canyon

 

and Jim Boone's description of the hike - Corridor Canyon.

 

Here's the coordinates to take to Google Earth - 36°44.810'N 117°37.006'W

 

And Foy, thanks for the great commentary!

 

 

Great, now I have something new to obsess on while I'm supposed to be collecting tax revenue for the Federal Gummint.  

 

At first blush, looks like Corridor Canyon is in the neighborhood of Mosaic Canyon, already on my bucket list thanks to you and The Lady.

 

I'm going to have to freakin' move to DV and just live there for a decade or two. And it's all y'all's fault--pun intended!

Heading into Saline Valley from the south that J-Tree forest is just magnificent. Great pics, thanks for the report.

What a great trip.  No library near me has a copy of Hiking Western DVNP, I may have to invest in one.
