EngO,

Great find - I like the RT call - "Jedi Transition"

Star Wars Canyon is actually Rainbow Canyon alongside Highway 190 as it climbs out of the Panamint Valley (west of Death Valley). The best vantage point is the Father Crowley Lookout. If you are visiting Death Valley, it's well worth the trip west to spend some time at the Lookout - take a lunch (and plenty of water) and watch for the high-speed passes. Best not to do this in the summer.

More information and some great videos here:

If you are feeling adventurous, you can hike the canyon, but it requires four rappels/abseils!
