Here are some images of the scenery around Death Valley that we love.


The view looking down towards Titus Canyon from Red Pass along the Titus Canyon Road.

Here is a very colorful Side-Blotched Lizard that we came across.



And now a few more Death Valley area flowers.

Purple Mat

Shredding Evening Primrose
(Camissonia boothii)


Turtleback, Velvet Rosette, or Desert Velvet
(Psathyrotes ramosissima)


Desert Mallow, Apricot Mallow or Desert Hollyhock
(Sphaeralcea ambigua)


Desert Rock Nettle
(Eucnide urens)


These are the extremely small flowers of the strange Desert Trumpet Plant or Native American Pipeweed
