ValleyClockwise from top left
Death Valley has a number of sand dunes which are in perpetual
motion as the wind slowly blows them across the land.
Death Valley, true to its name, is nearly absent of the
abundance of life that is so common in other parts of the
state.
The water from a nearby hot spring provides a small oasis where
plant life flourishes in the barren land.
The mountains of the valley are packed with abandoned mine
shafts.
