Darwin Falls in the dead of summer! ☀

Darwin Falls is a waterfall located on the western edge of Death Valley National Park near the settlement of Panamint Springs, California. We traveled there in the dead of summer heat. Darwin Falls, the Darwin Falls Wilderness, the nearby town of Darwin, California, and all other areas named "Darwin" in the vicinity are named after Dr. Darwin French (1822–1902), a local rancher, miner, and explorer. These falls are majestic and secluded. On this day we went to the closest falls to get to.
