Death Valley National Park, California. One of the major floods off the east side of the Panamint Range is recorded by a considerable collection of juniper and pine logs at the foot of the Trail Canyon fan. Some of the logs are 6 feet long and 12 feet in diameter; they must have been transported to the toe of the fan from the very head of the canyon. Such an unusual flood may have been caused by an accumulation of snow followed by sudden thaw and warm rain. Circa 1960.
