Wiley Coyote & Zabriskie Point

Friday morning I noticed this coyote wandering about 30 feet from our campsite. This wiley coyote looks like he is well fed.
























Today we went to Zabriskie Point, a part of the Amargosa Range. There is a dramatic view at every turn; here are just a few.






These wavy mudstone hills formed millions of years ago from sediment left behind from the now dried up Furnace Lake, gravel from the surrounding mountains, and ash from the once-active Black Mountain volcanic field.















Before we left Death Valley we stopped by the Famous Furnace Creek Inn. For all you Ashevillians, it reminded us of a very small Grove Park Inn.
