In my visit to Death Valley I stopped and viewed the Golden Canyon which leads to Red Cathedral. When I first saw the picture the first thought that came to my mind was what kind of minerals are these. The way the rocks are shaped it looks like it can be a Feldspar but I could be wrong seeing that I am not able to physically touch the rock. I would want to get a sample of the rock to test it. I would also like to know how old the rocks are and if the mountain rocks in the back are ocean- continent plates or normal faulting.
