Death Valley is raw geology on display. The mountain ranges rise on the east and the on the west while the valley floor sinks between them. This is the view from Aguereberry Point late on Solstice afternoon. We stand at about 6000 feet, roughly the same as the opposing range. The valley floor is almost 300 feet below sea level.
We four-wheeled into Hole in the Wall before dawn on the morning after Solstice night. Here we're looking west towards Telescope Peak and Aguereberry Point.
Ubehebe volcanic crater on the north end of Death Valley is about 600 feet deep.
Until this point, I figured it'd take a submarine to get me this far below sea level!
