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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Death Valley Is Anything But Dead

Had to go to Death Valley National Park to check out the Super Bloom. I’ve been going to Death Valley for about 10 years and have never experienced this amount of flowers and people.  I captured the floral display starting a few hours before sunset. The predominate flower south of Furnace Creek is the Desert Gold Sunflower or as I like to call it, Geraea Canescens.  Stay tuned for more pics from Eureka Dunes, fighter jets and the Pacific Coast.
