Destruction and Rebirth Hike

Sunday, March 24, 2024

Join hydrogeologist Andy Zdon for a transformative hike to Darwin Falls, where flash floods have reshaped the landscape, offering a rare glimpse into the dynamic forces that sculpt Death Valley NP’s terrain. Gather at the Stovepipe Wells Village General Store at 8:45 AM for a moderate 2-mile journey that defies the traditional trail, inviting you to scramble over rocks and wade through the aftermath of nature’s power. 
Limited to just 12 participants, this intimate and educational excursion requires at least 2 liters of water, snacks, and sturdy shoes. Be part of this unique chapter in the valley’s history and witness the resilience of the desert with an expert who has dedicated over 15 years to understanding its hydrologic secrets!
