Ash Wednesday-Feb 10-Golden Canyon & Salt Creek

Today we spent a leisurely day hiking the trails we didn't have time for yesterday. We started with Dante's View. This overlook gave stunning views of the Death Valley floor and salt flats. We noticed that the rock formations looked totally different in the morning light compared to the afternoon and evening light we saw yesterday.

  1. These pictures are amazing. I love the one of the lizard...and the flowers...and the hawk...and, well, all of them.
