Mesquite Sand Dunes of Death Valley

I had heard horror stories about Death Valley prior to visiting it. I was warned not to go. The name of the hottest place in N. America which is also home to the lowest point below Sea Level there too, did not make it any better for me. As I began my descent into this desert I was privileged, honored and humbled to see some of the most beautiful wonders, not just in the U.S. but on earth.
