Death Valley: Mesquite Dunes
Follow me on my journey exploring in Death valley National Park. My first stop will be Mesquite Flat San Dunes. As I approached the dunes driving down Highway 120, I could see off in the distance a very large dune, several hundred feet high, shaped like a pyramid, which seemed to be several miles from the road. I sort of had made up my mind, I had to get there, and have a closer look.
