Gower Gulch

This is a wash located below Zabriskie Point that  runs to the valley floor. I made a loop hike by walking from the mouth of Gower to the mouth of Golden Canyon, then returned to Zabriskie via Golden.

This mine tunnel passes from the main canyon to a side canyon where I first heard ("You don't know what you're doing.  You're in the desert."), then met two other guys hiking.
