Death Valley National Park

Death Valley’s Mesquite Sand Dunes is 2 miles south of Stovepipe Wells Village.  There is a parking lot but you have to hike 2 miles or more to get out to the largest dunes.  I found that if you park 1/4 of a mile north of the lot and off the side of the road you can hike to dunes that the tourists don’t get to.  The importance of that, for a photograph, is there are no foot prints to spoil the pristine nature of dunes.  I took photos at sunset and sunrise and this one was at sunset.
