At 114 degrees, David Harris and I set out to find a sinkhole in the desert which appeared to have features suggesting it could be at least a sinkhole. Once we got there, we confirmed it — a sinkhole with shade! Much-needed relief from the brutal heat. We got into the sink and found a room just inside the bottom.

We immediately started to hear a loud rattle. A Grand Canyon rattlesnake appeared and looked quite displeased with our presence. The passage appeared to start to close up, but the snake blocked any further inspection into the small area where it could continue. This is why we called it Serpentine Sink.
