Robert writes, "Day two of Death Valley. Finishing up exploring the surprise gem, ghost town Rhyolite, we finally made our way into the second entrance of the Death Valley National Park. First on the list would be to visit one of the five sand dunes. Mesquite Flats is the most popular due to the ease of getting there. Since we weren't traveling in a proper off-road vehicle, the others weren't considered. Something about sand dunes seem to bring out the kid in you... (wait for photo #2 of the dunes)
From a photography standpoint, the dunes are very popular, and you have to be willing to hike a good ways to eliminate any footprints in the photo; after a about a half mile I decided this is the spot I liked the most, foot prints or not. I loved the dunes!" Comments | Permalink
