Death Valley National Park – Amargosa Range – California

Images of Death Valley National Park – Central California, taken in April 2021.

Two of the most interesting and beautiful places in Death Valley National Park are the view of the entire valley from above at Dantes View (5,475 ft) and sunrise and sunset at Zabriskie Point. I spent an early morning watching the sun paint the Panamint Range across the valley and then touch and engulf Zabriskie Point. After experiencing that beautiful sight, I made my way up to Dantes View where on the way I was surprised by the spectacular appearance of a bighorn sheep crossing the road in a small canyon. I immediately came to a stop and frantically reached for my camera, which was on the passenger seat of my car, while hitting the button to roll down the window. The bottom line is I nearly knocked out my front teeth with my camera but was unable to capture an image of the ram before it crossed over a small hill. I would have loved to get the shot but sometimes you just have to be satisfied with the thrill of seeing something as wild and as magnificent as a bighorn sheep.
