Death Valley – the name appears as if it’s a place without life, destroyed and dry.
But - although Death Valley is the driest place in the US, with an average rainfall of 2 inches / year, water presence is obvious in nearly every spot.
Flowers bloom during spring, badwater excites with it’s reflections, hundreds of little springs (entspringen) here and there. It is said that nearly 1000 different plant species are living in Death Valley.
And in terms of geology – it’s a wonderland showcase - badlands mix with rugged canyons and sand dunes, bridges have been formed by erosion – and all that in all different colors, earth can produce.
- Pros:Incredible beauy of a desert
- Cons:please avoid visits in summer time

Very spectacular place! It's great you've been there, Ingrid! Well done! ><><><><><><
Thanks for the lunar shots from earth, Ingrid. This is one place we missed last summer. I have to e-mail you a funny story about just that. A reason to return....
Death Valley - Devil's Golf Course - Badwater - Furnace Creek - Perhaps it gets a little hot around here!! The Artist's Palette is indeed fantastic. Great page Ingrid.
Yes, an amazing place!
Very interesting page on a place I have not visited before. Great photos!!
As always, another page with stunning photography and good information! Manganese im Artist's Palette? Das kommt mit doch bekannt vor... Ach ja! Ich schlucke taegl. Manganesetabletten fuer meine Schildruese! haha! ;-)
Dicing with death; in a valley so dry; so watch where you park; and your rear end won't fry!
Beautiful mountain landscapes! I've never seen such lifeless and deprived vegetation squares... I used to see mountains of another sort in the Caucasus. I consider nothing to be more wonderful than tops in snow and ice! Thanks for virtual travel, Ingrid!
Fabulous pictures! I seem to have heard a lot about the place but I've never made it there.
Breathtaking photographs of this unique National Park. From the Natural Bridge and Artist's Palette to the Devil's Golf Course, Badwater, and the Borax Mines, your presentation is flawless.
