- On November 15, 2013, Steve Hall and Kauri Jacob discovered Sunlight Canyon & Sunlight Bridge in Death Valley National Park. Sunlight Canyon has glowing red and yellow towering narrows with Sunlight Bridge (the 13th major natural bridge to be discovered in Death Valley) contained within. Returning to the location of this discovery in January of 2024, along with family members Daria & Stefan and friend Elyscia, Steve takes viewers with him to see these places in Death Valley Discoveries Episode 5. The parking area for this hike is located about 1 mile west of the parking area for Red Wall Canyon. Our hiking route was 10.1 miles in total. (This is a challenging hike not meant for the general public.)
Nice work steve.... totally professional as usual.
Love this channel. Love DVNP!
This is so amazing! Wonderful hike, the sunset bridge is awesome, thanks for sharing with us Steve.
Thanks Steve! I'm adding this to my list of must-do hikes for my next DV trip.
Steve, I've stumbled across your channel from a blossoming interest in Death Valley. Your videos have been providing me with so much information and practical advice, as well as some comfort in a difficult time. Thank you so much for sharing these adventures with us.
Glad I could help in some small way and that you are enjoying the videos.
Wow, what a special place. You share so many great hike ideas!
It's so hard to capture the real beauty on camera but you nailed it! Great work Steve thanks for sharing this.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. This area of the Grapevines is quite special.
Mr. Hall, a total pleasure viewing your family adventure. What memories you create for Stefan. In days of short attention spans I’m loving your long format because the narration, cinematography, and soundtrack blend into a masterpiece. Your videos would make great shows at the Furnace Creek Visitors Center. Now I’m anxious to see your next episode. Hats off to Kauri as well!
Thanks so much for your comment, DV Dazed. At one time, I was going to do a slideshow presentation for the public one evening in the FC Auditorium but for some reason it never materialized.
Wow man, what perfect timing. I was in Death Valley when I saw this video was posted so I immediately changed plans and visited the bridge for the first time on 1/26/2024. I could still follow your footprints in spite of the rains earlier this week. What a magical place!
That is a really cool story. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm glad you made it to the bridge and got to experience the magic of Sunlight Canyon.
awesome hike! thanks for sharing your discovery with us, what a beautiful canyon! the long way down way really nice too, good to get a different view of the area.
Indeed the long bypass and short bypass are both important parts of the Rock Nettle RS portion of the hike.
Thank you for sharing this Steve. You may have seen our footprints in Rock Nettle, we were in there in December and were clearly the first ones in after the flood. I saw the mouth of Sunlight but didn't have time to explore it, I'm excited to go back in a couple of weeks to see it!
Very cool glad you got to do the hike. I'm glad the flooding didn't change these canyons much at all. Did you use the short bypass or long bypass to get up Rock Nettle Red Slot?
We used your short bypass, I still have all the info from Panamint City (that I don't share with anyone!), but we intend to do it again to photograph under better conditions for better glow, so we may try Kauri's route next time. Hope we run into you someday, you've been a huge inspiration to explore Death Valley. I've been photographing there for 10 years, but you have me hooked on canyons now!
That's awesome glad I was able to help out a fellow hiker. I've always said that I'm a canyon hiker, not a peak hiker.
