Gordon Smith  > Landscapes > California > Death Valley
I first visited Death Valley in October 2006 and loved the vast open spaces and incredible landscapes. I'd read about the Racetrack and wanted to go there for several years. It was spellbinding to me. Many other fascinating and one-of-a-kind landscapes are found here: Badwater, Ubehebe Crater, Zabriski Point Badlands, Artist's Paintpots, Stovepipe Well Dunes, the Grandstand and much more. Because there's so much to see, this is a large gallery but I hope you enjoy seeing this wonderful place through my eyes.

Wanting to go again, I finally made it back in January 2009 and visited the Racetrack again. Wow, is it awesome. Some of the rocks were familiar even. I also visited Dante's view and had a great time shooting the enormous salt flats far below with a telephoto lens. Stovepipe wells sand dunes were also amazing. Enjoy with a glass of water. :)

Gordon Smith > Zabriski Point and Manly Beacon in Soft Light
July 2009
This panorama is from 2 shots stitched together.  Altogether, it's a mile from Manly Beacon on the left to the trailhead on the far right.  The size of the badlands is really hard to comprehend without walking the trails.  You should click on the picture and then select Original Size to appreciate how amazing this place is.

Gordon Smith > Hiking around the badlands below Manly Beacon is like walking on the moon.  It reminded me of the Bisti Badlands in New Mexico.

Gordon Smith > Badwater is the center of Death Valley and a great place to hang out on a cool day.  Salt formations spread across the valley in endless miles.
Gordon Smith > Golden Canyon is a great hike, shady during parts of the day, and easily accessible.

Gordon Smith > These badland ridges are enormous and very steep
