Part 2: A Rocky Sunset
Driving down into the valley, a flash of light from the setting sun hit my left peripheral vision and I pulled over to take a look at its origin. Turns out it was a flash of sunlight coming through a hole in a rock (to the left of where the sun is setting):
OK, that was fun, so I walked back to the car to catch a few rays on other rocks:
The best part of the ride into Death Valley from the east, coming down California 190, is the rocks along the way:
Seeing those last rays of sun downhill ahead of me reminded me that I wanted to get to Zabriskie point before the sun was all the way down. So I said good bye to the holy rock and high-tailed it to Zabriskie Point, a few miles lower down.
See the same sunset continue from Zabriskie Point
See another sunset from Dante's Peak
See the Death Valley sand dunes and Badwater Salt Flats
