Dante's Ridge

Here are the pictures from my hike on Dante's Ridge my last day in Death Valley.
The trail traverses all of those up and downs over to the bottom of the red rock ridge.

The most difficult part of the hike was negotiating all of these rocks.
Not the best trail
Red rock, blue sky
The trail makes a startling change from red to white.
Changing from white to red
Look at those colors!

Lots of this intense orange and green lichen on the north side of rocks.

Looking down on Badwater basin. At more than 300 feet below sea level, it's the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere.
