Sand Dunes at Death Valley (4) -
Sand dunes at sunrise

It is quite a hike to go to the top of every dune. Go on a leisurely
pace. It won't take long to reach the top of the taller ones.

If you are lucky and if you are there at the dunes early in the
morning, you might be able to find bug tracks on the sand.

Mosaic Canyon - Death Valley -
Mosaic Canyon - inner canyon
-
A road from Stovepipe Wells village climbs up an alluvial fan to
the mouth of the Mosaic Canyon on the Tucki mountains.
This road, like many other dirt roads in Death Valley, can be
slippery and drive slow. It is about 2.5 miles long.
A narrow and winding trail takes you into the canyon. In some
places you will have to use your hands to climb up. Ranger-led
walks are very popular at this place. I saw a crowd of about 75
people following a ranger.

Inside the mosaic canyon. Beyond this point, the trail
becomes very narrow and winding. You will have to scramble.
Be wary of flash floods.
