| Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes |
One of the most iconic Death Valley locations, the Racetrack is tucked away in the high country to the north and west of the valley proper, at the end of a 25 mile 4WD trail.
The elevation gain is significant, and takes you through thickets of Joshua Trees and still-blooming wildflowers.

Taking a right at the whimsical teakettle junction, the large playa soon comes into view and the end of the road draws mercifully near.

The remoteness of the Racetrack and our early bird habits allowed us to have it all to ourselves this morning. It was a picture perfect day, cool and clear with a nice breeze.

It was hard to pick just one or two photos to capture the essence of this surreal and magical place, hence the need for a separate post. Enjoy!
