Deadman Canyon, Glacier-carved canyon in Kings Canyon National Park, United States.
The granite-walled canyon extends for 8 miles at 7,620 feet elevation, featuring natural streams and diverse plant species including aspens and pines.
Alfred Moniere, an Iberian sheep-herder, died in this canyon in 1887, and his grave remains marked with a timber fence near the trail crossing.
The canyon forms part of a 50-mile circuit connecting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks through the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
The canyon trails require advanced preparation, proper camping gear, and bear-resistant containers, as the remote location offers minimal amenities and limited cell service.
The flora includes specific mountain species such as buckwheat, sagebrush, Indian paintbrush, mariposa lily, columbine, delphinium, daisies, and shooting star.
