We had four days in Death Valley, here's pictures from our first two days. We did some walks and drives always stopping for pictures and vistas of an unusually splendid show of spring wildflowers. All roads out of Death Valley have to go through a pass (of course), much of the valley is below sea level.

Tricky to get those exposures right! Our first view of fields of desert wildflowers.	Bigelow Monkey Flower	Hairy Sand Verbena	On the Badwater Salt flats.	Furnace Creek Ranch where we stayed, 190 feet below sea level. An oasis in the desert.
Starting our walk into Mosaic Canyon.		Marbling on the canyon walls		Road leading to Emigrant Pass. The Panamint mountains.
Emigrant Pass	An abondoned shack and mine. A Basque had lived here until the 1950s.	Our rental car! (The miner's Buick straight 8)	On top of the hill where the gold was mined.	Exploring the diggings.
	Woolly Indian Paintbrush	Evening shadows over the hills.	Giant Four O'Clock ?	Woody Bottle-Washer ?
Within half an hour from Emigrant Pass...sea level!	An expanse of yellow wildflowers as far as we can see.
