Badwater
and the Floor of Death Valley
This
is the classic image of Death Valley, salt plains, 282 feet below sea
level.
We
found it a thrilling place to paint, framed by mile-high mountains and
twenty mile vistas.
Of
course we were very careful, carrying lots of emergency water
and
working only in the early mornings.
2005
was a very rare year (twice a century or so) when there was so much
rain
that there was a lake in Badwater!

Golden
Canyon
Easily
accessible, this area of colorful badlands was one of our favorite
places.
We
would love to paint here more. Best seen in the late afternoon
when
it turns fiery.

Saline
Valley
The
most remote part of the park that we reached. The size and
character
of Death Valley,
but
with very few visitors, no paved roads or facilities of any kind...
except
a wonderful hot spring.
