Death Valley

Today's trip was to Death Valley.




At Dante's View, more than 5500 feet above the valley floor, you can really see Death Valley as the ultimate expression of Basin and Range topography.




This shot is from Dante's View looking down at Badwater, at 282 feet, the lowest point in North America.




These are the highly eroded lake sediments at Zabriskie Point




When I was at Badwater, the high for the day a few miles up the road at Furnace Creek was 113 degrees.



Out on the salt flat.




Tomorrow its off to Hoover Dam and Sedona AZ.
