Stream leaving the Valley of Desolation (Mar 21, 2006, 11:14am) hiking time: 2 hrs, 25 mins After spending 45 minutes in the Valley of Desolation, we continue the hike to the Boiling Lake. This picture shows the warm stream that flows through the Valley of Desolation. The lower end of Valley of Desolation is visible at the top of picture. We would follow this stream for a little while as we hiked towards the boiling lake.
