Caption: DEATH VALLEY
Caption: Death Valley would eventually get its name because of the suffering the Lost '49ers went through, trying to make their way to California, during the Gold Exodus of 1849.
What must have been a nightmare for the wagon-driven excursion is today a sandy paradise, caged by crimson red mountains and illuminated by otherworldly sunsets.

Caption: Mixing sandstone, clay and ancient lava, Zabriskie Point is a photographer's dream, for its different formations come alive during sunrises and sunsets, showing off their different colors and textures.
As the first rays beaming from the sun reach the surface of Zabriskie, it shape shifts the landscape, casting stripes of orange and blue into jewel colored hues, stealing your breath away.

Caption: Unlike most National Parks, Death Valley is mostly wilderness, which allows you to walk wherever your feet take you.
Freedom at its best. Far away from modern civilization, it also has some of the darkest skies you'll ever witness.
As you make your way through the ever-changing sand dunes, the Milky Way dances through the sky, giving you a sense of perspective you've never felt before.

Caption: Mountains here are like nothing you've seen before. The oxidation of different metals creates a truly alien-like landscape.
As you drive through the colored hills you can't help but wonder how the Lost '49ers felt like, making its way through the scalding desert in wagons and horses.
Salt spirals form delicate grounds, only adding to the dryness that accommodates in your pallet.
