Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes – Blue Sky at Dusk

There are a variety of dune areas in Death Valley, and experiencing them was a real treat.  “Oasis” comes to mind … not in the literal or traditional sense affiliated with water, of course.  The terrain throughout DV is incredibly raw and rough, and the dunes standout like islands of smooth, curvy, and serene formations in the middle of the desert chaos.  They are beautiful.  Sand storms are not uncommon, and we saw several from a long distance.  Thankfully we did not get caught in one while visiting Mesquite Flat.
