Death Valley

 Not all of Death Valley is barren of plantlife. Our visit in April was quite pleasant weather wise and there was some greenery especially on the southern end of the park where we came in.

 Our dog Tobi enjoyed getting out of the truck for a little bit of a romp right before the entrance.

 There was a lot of industry in the valley in the past couple of centuries and many of the structures are now in ruins.

 Zabriskie Point had some incredible vistas. The erosion on these hills makes for some interesting views. There is so much color in such a barren landscape.

This is looking out from Zabriskie Point. 

 We also did the Artist's Drive. There were some amazing colors.

 This was a popular place to get out for the view and the sky was amazing against that landscape.

The colors of this section are quite amazing and I can bet that at sunset they would be much more intense.
