Marble Canyon

USA / California / Furnace Creek /
 mountain, canyon / gorge

Entrance to Marble Canyon.
This canyon is the source of an alluvial fan.
The fan is the large conical formation that emerges eastward from the canyon and spreads out in a wide arc.
The amount of material and the length of time it took to build this fan are staggering to contemplate.
Truly geologic in nature!
