Johnson Canyon is one of the wettest canyons in Death Valley National Park and the site of Hungry Bill's Ranch, which back in the 1870s supplied fruit and vegetables to mining operations in the area. There are still fruit and nut trees growing at this site, but most of them are in pretty bad condition. Besides the fruit and nut trees (fig, apple, walnut), there are plenty of native plants to be found at this site including Panamint dudleya, ephedra, stream orchid, mistletoe, desert paintbush, and apricot mallow, as well as a couple of different species of cactus. Besides all the plants, there's an arrastre along the trail to Hungry Bill's Ranch and in the evening a chorus of frogs is likely to keep you company.
