The Incredible Eureka Dunes

One of my favorite places on  Planet Earth, Eureka Dunes is in a very remote part of Death Valley National Park.  The dunes reach some 700 feet into the California sky and stretch for about 2 miles on the ground.  I come here at least once a year and visited a spot I hadn’t been to. On this visit, no Navy Jets buzzed me but that may have had something to do with the brief government shutdown.

This is the first of two posts.

    Besides the beauty of this area, I can hear the silence there…… that must be just amazing.

    I’m glad you put a human in one of the images. It helps understand the vastness and puts the dunes in perspective. An eerie and desolate place. Stark and beautiful.

      Yes, it is vast and I look rather insignificant in my surroundings

    Wow! I need to see this in person. Love all your photos and especially the third one with the different layers of colour.

    I never tire of seeing this place. The play of light and shadow is sublime.

      That’s why I keep going back. Maybe I’ll build a house there!

        I imagine summers are not so much fun. 😉

    I love these images. These dunes are not easy to get to. Did you have an AWD or all-terrain vehicle?

    1. Michael Andrew Just Avatar

      I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle but you really don’t need one to get to this place

    Surreal, like something from another planet! Great photos! I’ve lived almost two years in my RV in the Nevada desert, it was a life changer.
