Death Valley a photo essay by Michael Reinhart
Entering the Valley of Death The view is awe inspiring.
A small oasis at Furnace Creek. Summer temperatures here reach 129*F
A harsh and unforgiving place.
A stark reminder that survival is the exception, not the rule.
A mirage of cool water.
A moon-like landscape near the Ubehebe crater.
Inside the Ubehebe crater. A hydro-volcanic explosion created this marvel in less than a second.
Looking into the northern end of Death Valley.
The coyote.
A sea of sand occupies the center of the valley.
A view of 11,000 foot Telescope Peak.
The salt basin near Badwater. The lowest point in the Western hemisphere at 282 feet below sea level.
The Devil's Golf course.
Water is drawn up through these formations. These salt pillars grow an inch every 35 years.
Twilight in the Valley
