We enjoyed sleeping in on our second day in San Pedro. The only tour we had lined up for the day was an evening excursion to some of the nearby rock formations.
The first stop on the tour was to Valle de la Muerte (Death Valley) to see some nice canyons and sand dunes. Some of the large sand dunes are formed against the stone cliffs. We hiked a little ways along one of the stone cliffs and then walked/ran down the dunes barefoot. The pictures don’t really convey the size of these dunes but I would say that they were close to 200ft tall!
After the dunes we walked down a narrow rock canyon and explored a small cave. The rocks along the canyon walls make an eerie popping noise due to thermal expansion/contraction. Another interesting spectacle in the canyon was the salt crystals that coat the walls.
The final stop on the tour was the Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon) for sunset. We hiked along a ridgeline to get a nice view of the mountains and the crazy colors made by the setting sun.
