Death Valley - Cooper Trodler

The trip through Death Valley brought the following snapshots. There are numerous limestone and 
throughout the scope seen in the below photos. The walls are made up of sedimentary layers. The layers are created by erosion from the mountain ranges above. There is quite a bit of marble located in these canyons throughout Death Valley. These canyons were formed over 700 billion years ago when it was covered by the Pacific Ocean, due to the extreme heat and pressure, it metamorphed into what is now known as Death Valley.
