User / Foothills Rambler / Death Valley: View from Dante's Peak
5,268 items
This image is a long range artillery shot taken from Dante's Peak about an hour before sunset. What appears to be water on the valley floor are really just mineral deposits made up of calcium and sodiums.

The elevation at Dante's Peak is 5,476 feet above sea level. The valley floor is mostly below sea level, with Badwater Basin logging the lowest spot at -278 feet. There was a brisk wind at the peak, and the temps were in the chilly 40's, while on the valley floor the temps were hovering in the high 60's.

This is truly a land of contrasts.
