The Devil's Golf Course... they seem to spend a lot of time naming stuff the "Devil's" this and that out here in Death Valley... |
various minerals make the colors. The sign explains all about it... |
An old steam engine for hauling borax |
One of our cabins... DON'T TOUCH that thermostat |
Sand dunes in Death Valley |
At the ranger station in Lone Pine looking up to the mountain range. They set up the tubes to identify some of the peaks... the one in the photo is Mt. Whitney |
The trail head... more signs warning about bears |
Looking back toward Lone Pine. The tube in the above photo's down there. |
This one looks pretty cool in the "X" size photo |
Getting pretty close to the tree line, above which trees can't grow, and the trees this close are sort of stunted |
Lone Pine lake |
One of the small lakes at Trail Camp. John Cruse is using the filter so we have cooking/drinking water |
The building is a storm shelter. You can see all the lightning rods in the "X" photo |
This is typical of the trail above the tree line... you can see it winding through the middle of the photo. |
The view off the west side of the ridge, after you cross the Trail Crest |
don't know what these were, but they were just about the only plants able to grow at that altitude |

one of my favorite shots... the trail wound through some very cool terrain |

umm... you don't want to stray too far from the path... |
After losing dozens of hikers at this point, they finally put up some railing... (kidding... I think...) |
