The heat suuuuuucks, but it is a beautiful place if enjoy extreme conditions and the survival of plants and animals that have found ways to make it.

Somehow I always imagined Death Valley would look kind of like the salt flats in Utah, maybe just unending flat hot desert.

OMG, imagine going across this in a covered wagon. There must have been - I hope? a marginally accessible trail through there? Besides, of course, modern roads that have cut into the landscape…

Ok, it looks like the photographer is standing on a dirt road or trail.

I watched sunset from here about 5 weeks ago

DV is definitely a “hidden gem” of a park that most people gloss over. There’s certainly a lot of heat, a lot of desert, etc. but there’s also amazing formations and views like OPs pic 👍🏽
