The Racetrack
One of my all-time favorite places to visit. This remote corner of Death Valley National Park boasts the famous moving rocks on the dry lakebed.

Badwater, Death Valley
At 282 feet below sea level it's the lowest point in North America. Normally this place covered it what looks like giant octagonal cobblestones but I think the recent water from last fall soften all those edges and salt crystals.

Dune Reflections After a Summer Storm
There was lots of mud and pools of water around the perimeter of the Eureka Dunes. After a day's worth of thunder showers passed through the area.

Fallen Joshua Tree
The color of this branch of a fallen Joshua tree really caught my eye just on the outskirts of Eureka Valley in Death Valley National Park.

Hidden Lakebed, Mesquite Flats
The nooks and low points in the sand dunes can be as interesting as the dunes themselves. The Mesquite Flat sand dunes actually cover an ancient lakebed that can still be seen in little pockets of the dune field.
