Rainbow Canyon
This canyon is also called "Star Wars Canyon". It is used by the US Air Force and Navy for fighter jet training. They come up right through this very narrow canyon.

At "Star Wars" Canyon
6:34 Time to get active. Jochen was setting up the tripod at the viewpoint called the Father Crowley Vista Point where you can take a look into Rainbow Canyon. They also call it Star Wars Canyon as they did some filming here. It's close to Panamint Springs along H-190 in the Death Valley National Park, California.

Rainbow Canyon
They also call it StarWars Canyon, as they did some scenes here close to the canyon. I stood there at 6:30 in the morning when suddenly a huge military jet came right up the canyon on it's side. I did not see it coming, but heard the loud noise suddenly it was beside me and a second later it was way up in the sky. What an excitement that was. Later I heard that they train there often.
